Papers of architect and artist Judith Horton Munk (1925-2006), who was known for her architectural design of private residences and structures on the University of California, San Diego campus. The collection contains writings, correspondence, architectural plans and drawings, and photographs.

Judith Kendall Horton Munk was born April 10, 1925 in San Gabriel, California to Winter Davis Horton and Edith Kendall Horton. She started working as a draftsman and cartographer for the Pentagon and then two private firms in 1941. After enrolling at Bennington College in 1942, she studied with architect Richard Neutra, earning a B.A. in arts and architecture in 1946. Munk was admitted to the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 1946, but contracted polio and was unable to attend. She relocated to San Diego to recover, staying at the home of her grandmother, Lena Kendall, who would later donate the lands to the University of California as part of the Kendall-Frost Marsh Reserve. Munk, who used mobility aids for much of her life, attended the University of Southern California School of Architecture, but found her access to classes limited by lack of wheelchair access.
