Books from the Clifton Johnson Schoolbook Collection

The Clifton Johnson Collection at the Jones Library in Amherst, Massachusetts documents the life and work of Clifton Johnson, an author, photographer, and illustrator from the neighboring town of Hadley. The digitized documents available here are a small subset of the approximately 7,000 items available in the collection. It includes a large collection of photographs and artwork, plus many of Johnson's personal notebooks, diaries, published articles, correspondence, and ephemera.

The material represents Johnson's wide interests in local history, farming, travel, children's literature and education, literary figures, and personalities of New England.
