Additionally there are pages with business and personal information cards documenting Johnson’s friends and associates.

The second scrapbook is smaller and only contains newspaper clippings pertaining to Johnson’s football career at Carlisle.

Supplementing the scrapbooks are folders of biographical information and newspaper clippings.
