While an undergraduate student at the University of Wisconsin 1958-1962 Donald Clay Johnson met many students from India. Interacting with these students resulted in his learning more about the Indian subcontinent with its rich diversity of cultures and resulted in his becoming secretary of the India Association of the University of Wisconsin and a change of major to Asian Studies. Several Indian friends gave him craft items made in India which initiated this collection. More than fifty years of collecting have resulted in a diverse and broad range of cultural items from all the countries of South Asia.
\n\nCollecting was sporadic until 1987, reflecting Donald Clay Johnson’s professional career as a librarian as well as his graduate study. The collection however grew during visits to India in 1966, 1970, 1972, 1974, and 1982. From 1972 through 1974 he worked at the National University of Malaysia (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) which gave him the opportunity to expand collecting perspectives to several Southeast Asian cultural traditions. In 1987 Dr. Johnson became Curator of the Ames Library of South Asia of the University of Minnesota, a position that took him to India on numerous occasions both for research projects as well as attending notable events, particularly weddings, of South Asian friends and students. Observing and participating in the ceremonies vastly expanded his awareness of textile traditions and his collecting interests expanded remarkably.
\n\nThe collection represented here consists of two portions or segments. The first is the Paritosh Collection which focuses exclusively upon textiles. The second is the Sagar Darshan Collection that contains everything else. The names of these two component parts of the collection derive from Paritosh, the Ahmedabad bungalow of the Parekh family, two of whose members were fellow undergraduate students at the University of Wisconsin, and, Sagar Darshan the Bombay/Mumbai apartment complex where Ashok and Sheila Doshi, dear friends since 1970 lived until their unfortunate deaths.
\n\nWhile the items portrayed in the textile aspect of the collection are extensive they are not the entire collection. Rather it portrays only those textiles which have sufficient patterns, designs, or techniques that can be photographed. A number of the textiles derive their unique qualities from their weaving which may be in a single color thread and thus are totally impossible to photograph meaningfully.
