Abstract

Julia Morgan practiced architecture in California during the first half of the twentieth century. The architectural drawings and plans, office records, photographs, correspondence, project files, student work, and personal papers created by or belonging to Julia Morgan in this collection were gathered by Morgan’s biographer, Sara Holmes Boutelle, in the course of her research on the architect over a period of more than 25 years. At Boutelle’s death in 1999, her collection was given to California Polytechnic State University.
