The Jane Hall Johnson Architectural Collection contains drawings, blueprints, and photographs of Johnson's architectural projects. The collection is divided into three series: I. Personal Papers; II. Professional Papers and Office Records; and III. Project Records.
Series I. Personal Papers, 1955-1971, contains drawings, presentation boards, photographs of models, slides, negatives of work for Johnson's thesis, "An International Student Center." Also included is a drawing of a separate graduate school project for a small residence.
Series II. Professional Papers and Office Records, 1960-1994, contains materials relating to Johnson's professional life, including school diplomas and continuing education certificates, office correspondence and brochures for Johnson's firm, awards, portfolios, and photographs of projects.
Series III. Project Records, 1955-1986, includes blueprints, drawings, and sketches of projects Johnson worked on for two firms, Anderson Nichols & Co. and Kilham, Hopkins, Greeley & Brodie after graduation, as well as preliminary drawings, sketches, construction drawings, presentation boards, for projects completed by Johnson's own firm. There are a few drawings that have no noted firm affiliation, or date, but were done early in Johnson's career. These materials are organized under Miscellaneous Projects.
