This collection consists primarily of material which Johnson collected and created during his career in education with York County School District #1 as a teacher of agricultural education and later as district superintendent. Johnson served on several advisory committees and organizations supporting agricultural and vocational education and was appointed to President Kennedy's Panel of Consultants to study technical and vocational education in America.
The material in the Strom Thurmond Collection Gubernatorial Series includes correspondence (both official and personal), campaign material, speeches and other items documenting Strom Thurmond's term as Governor of South Carolina from 1946-1951. Some of this material was originally part of the holdings of the South Caroliniana Library of The University of South Carolina and the South Carolina Department of Archives and History.
