My Hometown Connection to Julia Morgan, Prolific Architect
by Kate Nixon As I clicked the “Leave Meeting” button on my two-hour Zoom hosted panel discussion on the state of historic preservation — an offering for both the online conference attendees and a free open forum for the general public — I felt the need to take a deep breath.

See How-To VideosKnow Your Shopmarks
We are currently in the process of collecting, organizing, identifying and displaying on this website as many Arts & Crafts shopmarks as possible. And like our Reference Library, we need your help. While we have documented the shopmarks of the major Arts & Crafts firms, we need for you to email us a photograph of any shopmarks you have from lesser known firms, along with a brief description of the piece.
Books Worth Reading
As both a collector and a researcher, I have often wished there was one site where every book ever written on the Arts & Crafts movement was listed. Now that place exists.

All you have to do is pull some of the books off your bookshelf (go for the less obvious ones – and check below for duplicate entries) and email me the title, author, publisher and most recent copyright date. I will sort them by category and list them here so that anytime you or anyone else wants to research anything relating to the Arts & Crafts movement, you will start your search here.
