Julia Parker Wightman

Julia Parker Wightman (December 25, 1909 – July 11, 1994) was an American bibliophile and book collector.

She was the daughter of a prominent New York City physician, Dr. Orrin Sage Wightman (1873-1965), and Purl Parker.

She was also a member of the Grolier Club to which she was elected in 1977, and was one of the first women to be admitted.

[1] After Wightman's death on July 11, 1994, her collections and her bookbinding equipment were bequeathed to the Morgan Library & Museum.
