Abstract | The Papers of Sir William Johnson is a 14-volume collection, published between 1921 and 1965, of the printed transcripts, letters and exchanges of Sir WIlliam Johnson, 1st Baronet (c. 1715–1774). The importance of this collection for the history of the period which it covers can scarcely be overestimated. Johnson, in his official capacity as an Irish colonial administrator or as a military officer during the French and Indian War (1754–1763), and in the conduct of his private affairs, corresponded with people in all walks of life. His papers, consisting of letters sent and received, bills, accounts and other classes too numerous to specify, form an invaluable source of information, not only for the political and military, but also for the social, industrial and agricultural history of the times. The contents of the volumes are as follows:
