Owen C. Coy was born in Farragut, Iowa on April 16, 1884, the son of Louise May Cochran and Charles Fremont Coy. He was educated
at College of the Pacific, earning a Ph.B. degree in 1907; at Stanford, an M.A. degree in History; and at University of California
at Berkeley, a Ph.D. degree in 1918.
He taught history at Eureka High School, 1909-13, was secretary and director of the California Historical Survey Commission,
from 1915 to 1923, director of the California State Historical Association, from 1923 to about1950, and state technical director
of the Historical Records Survey, W.P.A., in 1936. He was professor of history at the University of Southern California, from
1925 until 1950.
Dr. Coy published several books, including
The County Archives of California and
The Genesis of California Counties. He was editor of the
California History Nugget, the periodical publication of the California State Historical Society.
The California Historical Commission, a state agency, was charged with making a study of the California mission, particularly
in reference to building and architecture. In his capacity as Commission director and as director of the California State
