To evaluate the expression \(\ln \frac{1}{e^{19}}\), we can use the properties of logarithms. Specifically, the property \(\ln \frac{1}{a} = -\ln a\) and the fact that \(\ln e^x = x\). Applying these properties will simplify the expression.

Step 1: Evaluate the Expression

We start with the expression \( \ln \frac{1}{e^{19}} \). Using the property of logarithms, we can rewrite this as: \[ \ln \frac{1}{e^{19}} = -\ln e^{19} \]

Step 2: Simplify Using Logarithm Properties

Next, we apply the property \( \ln e^x = x \): \[ -\ln e^{19} = -19 \]

Step 3: Final Result

Thus, the value of \( \ln \frac{1}{e^{19}} \) is: \[ \boxed{-19} \]
