The records include his files as ASM President; materials concerning ASM annual meetings, including group photographs; records documenting the work of the ASM Committee on Systematic Collections, Committee on Resolutions, and Marine Mammal Committee; and ASM publications. Materials also include biographical files maintained by Johnson on ASM members and other mammalogists and scientists. The biographical files contain some of Johnson's professional correspondence.
