These holdings chiefly concern the life and work of five prominent members of the Workman family: William H. Workman (1839-1918), son of one of the first Workmans in Los Angeles (ca. 1850), and a leading civic figure as mayor, city treasurer and developer of Boyle Heights; his wife Maria E. (1847-1933); their daughter Mary Julia Workman (1871-1964), a major Roman Catholic social activist in Los Angeles; her sister-in-law, Margaret K. Workman (1902-1987), prominent Democrat and social work leader, and wife of Mary's brother Thomas; and Judge David A. Workman, son of Margaret and Thomas Workman.
