Initial Classification by his son Roy Johnston, again revised November 18 2011

TCD MS 11398 cf Jane Maxwell (amended herewith, unfinished WIP)

We record here the re-boxing within topic, where possible in historical sequence. Those prefixed with (N) were in boxes JJ took to Nenagh with him for his last days, suggesting that he valued them highly; this was done when his TCD rooms were cleared out under his supervision, circa 1970.

Topic 1: Development Economics

Sub-topic 1.1: Development Economics: historic origins

Boxing of the material in this section is more or less complete; provisionally we have the foolscap folder sized material organised as follows:

(N)3 issues of Hermathena, Nov 1952, May 1953, May 1955; these each contain a paper by Ben Farrington on a classical topic, suggesting in interest by JJ in the work of BF who had developed a Marxist historical view of classical civilization. (This perhaps arose via a link with his classical Greek economic papers, on Solon etc?)

This is basically a record of JJ active in development economics, in outreach mode, trying to make things happen. There is therefore probably some duplication and overlap between this and the material boxed in the '1.2' domain, above. >

The initial listings below refer to the material in unclassed mode, boxed temporarily as it was found, with tentative allocation to groups 3, 4 and 5. There follows a second listing describing an initial rough grouping into archive boxes, with labeling of boxes in pencil, to facilitate further possible re-classification in an expert-led research-oriented situation.

As before, an initial (N) indicates that JJ took the material with him for his final spell in Nenagh, perhaps suggesting a 'last word' research agenda.

I have edited this html version from the listing relating to the Jane Maxwell hand-over in 2011; it can perhaps be of use pending a subsequent professional sorting and classification of the material, should this occur. RHWJ 03/08/2012
