Series 2: Photograph Albums (1964?-1992?)
The photograph albums are in some ways successors to the Scrapbooks (RBHARC 7/1), as while photographs comprise the majority of the contents, postcards, letters, cards and newspaper and magazine articles are also included. The contents are predominantly of personal interest to the Johnstones, although photographs of artworks and exhibition installations are included.
Most of the contents are from the period following the closure of the Gallery in 1972, however it is impossible to assign a definitive date range to the volumes as contents of mixed dates have been gathered together, and much cannot be dated. Dates have been assigned as a means of distinguishing the volumes and are extremely arbitrary.
The volumes were self adhesive albums with plastic overlays. The contents of most of the volumes have been remounted on archival card within mylar sleeves within the original covers.
Transcriptions of most of the letters in RBHARC 7/2/8 were made by Louise Martin Chew and are available from the James Hardie Library of Australian Fine Arts, State Library of Queensland.

Series 3: Correspondence Files, Alphabetical Series (1951-1982)
The series consists mainly of files relating to individual artists who exhibited with the gallery, although some relate to the organisation of specific group exhibitions and administrative matters.
The files contain both incoming and copies of outgoing correspondence, as well as exhibition catalogues for both the Johnstone Gallery (some annotated with sales) and other galleries, lists of works, print prospectuses, guest lists, news-clippings of reviews and other subjects, and photographs.
Correspondents include the artists themselves, other galleries and purchasers. The majority of outgoing correspondence is signed by Brian Johnstone, although Victor Mace, Assistant Director, and Meg McKenzie, Secretary, are sometimes responsible.

Series 6: Exhibition Catalogues (1961-1972)
This series is an incomplete set of the catalogues for exhibitions held at the Gallery.
The earlier catalogues are simple folded cards with a list of works and sizes, while later examples also include biographical notes and brief essays on the artist and works, and colour or black and white reproductions.
Some were not published and exist as typescript gallery copies only. Many are annotated with purchaser’s names and/or uncatalogued works.
Annual programmes for 1969-1972 are also included, as are invitations to some exhibitions.
The system of arrangement is chronological. Imposed. Items 47-213 (old RBHARC 7/6/47-RBHARC 7/6/81) were housed together in an arch lever file titled ‘Catalogues 1970’, while others were gathered from a box of loose catalogues to form the series.
Copies of many of the catalogues in this series, although without annotations, can be found in Johnstone Gallery Archive Scrapbooks (Series 1), the Australian Library of Art Exhibition Catalogue and Ephemera Collections and State Library of Queensland Information Collection. They may also be held in the collections of other libraries.
The items in this series are indexed on the State Library of Queensland Catalogue.
Further published catalogues, invitations, typescripts and related news-clippings are available pasted into the Johnstone Gallery Archive Scrapbooks (Series 1).
All items from the "Catalogues 1970" file have been retained and are recognisable by two holes punched for filing.
