A Selection of Archives

By Johnson Rare Books & Archives


A Selection of Archives Letters, scrapbooks, diaries, photo albums and ephemera from the past are a gift from prior generations to the future. In history books and memoirs, we can read about important events, memorize dates and learn about the principle players. But to understand how it felt to live at a significant time and how it affected people of that time and place, their own accounts are the vehicle that will transport us.
