The gallery history contains notes, press releases, and clippings, including a five year anniversary interview with Helen Johnston. This folder also has photographs, contact sheets and negatives of Ms. Johnston and the gallery. It appears that Robert Toren was a personal friend of Helen Johnston and sometimes gave her recommendations for photographers and exhibitions.
