We invite you to explore some of Norfolk, Virginia's history through both primary and secondary documents.
  • Past Issues of the Norfolk Historical Society Courier
  • 1802 Map of Norfolk - A map of the Borough of Norfolk based on a plat drawn by George Nicholson in 1802
  • Transcript of Courts Martial held at Fort Norfolk in 1814.  This transcript is part of the Moses Myers Family Papers held by the Chrysler Museum of Art.  In addition to the still-existent Fort Norfolk, two other installations are mentioned: Fort Barbour, which was located at the intersection of "Church Street and the Princess Anne Road," and Fort Tar, which was found where modern-day Monticello Avenue crosses Virginia Beach Boulevard.
  • Book List - A listing of books both in and out of print on Norfolk, Virginia which can be found at bookstores, area libraries, or online.
