- BEHI-P013-S23 — Getty / Smithsonian — archive preservation and custody
Official joint transfer announcement, July 28, 2022
The institutional announcement documents transfer of the Ebony and Jet photographic archive to Getty and the Smithsonian. Its described scale and processing commitment concern archive preservation, not paid magazine circulation, Johnson’s personal net worth or the company’s historical profit. The record reflects posthumous custody and does not make Johnson responsible for later corporate decisions.
