Scope and Contents note
Arranged into two sub-series - alphabetical and chronological.
Johnston collected newspaper articles, chapters from books, original theses, and essays from encyclopedias and other reference works, as background material for the book, Houston, the Unknown City.
Topics range from famous Houstonians such as Ima Hogg, to social trends and historical events. Most of the files come from secondary sources and are augmented by Johnston's notes and the occasional photograph.
