The Encyclopedia of Norfolk, Virginia Geography and History is the most ambitious project of history and geography ever attempted for Norfolk -- and it is one of the most unusual projects of its kind in the field of geography.
The multi-volume encyclopedia is scheduled for publication in 2008. This website is designed by the authors of the Encyclopedia to show you the kinds of research we are conducting and the kinds of discoveries we are making in the process of compiling this mammoth work. We are also including here a vast amount of information that we have been unable to include in the book itself (because of the constraints of size and cost). In addition, we present here various mysteries that we've run across -- namely, photographs that we need your help identifying and historical questions that we hope you can help the authors answer. And we are including links to websites containing resources relating to Norfolk-area history and geography that we have found useful.
We shall be grateful if you'll help us get the word out about our Norfolk Virginia Encyclopedia project by letting others know about it. One very important way in which you can help us is to place a link to our home page (http://www.norfolkhistory.com) on your own website. This is invaluable not only for letting your site's visitors know about our work but also -- and perhaps more significantly -- for helping this site to gain a higher position on the major search engines.
