Sara Holmes Boutelle, Julia Morgan, Architect, rev. and updated ed. (1995), covers Morgan’s life and career.
The exact date of birth of American architect Julia Morgan is not easily found in reference works. Most sources offer little information, providing the year of birth but not the month or day, and official records, such as birth certificates, were lost during the San Francisco earthquake (1906). The Julia Morgan Collection, housed in the Robert E. Kennedy Library at California Polytechnical State University, however, provides definitive documentation. The collection includes an identity card issued to Julia Morgan in 1899 by the École des Beaux-Arts, where she was enrolled at the time. The card bears Morgan’s signature and a handwritten entry that clearly shows her date and place of birth as 20 Janvier (January), 1872, San Francisco.
