The documents were saved from destruction during the Civil War by Lewis Warrington Webb. He and his descendants contributed to and preserved the documents.","Lewis Warrington Webb, Bourough of Norfolk, Gosport Navy Yard","Lewis Warrington Webb was born on September 26, 1826. He was in the drug business before the Civil War. Webb was Collector of the Port of Norfolk when the war began. He maintained an office in the custom house. In April of 1861, war between the North and the South appeared to be imminent. The federal authorities realized that the Navy Yard could not be successfully defended. They ordered the evacuation and destruction of the ships, stores, equipment and records. Lewis Webb gathered many of the documents stored in the customs house and placed them in a trunk. The documents included late eighteenth and nineteenth century records of the Borough of Norfolk and records of the Gosport Navy Yard. Webb contributed documents to the collection until 1870.","After the Civil War, Webb served as a member of the military council, Auditor of Public Accounts, member of the Board of Police Commissioners, a member of the State Legislature and as the Deputy Collector of Customs in Norfolk. He supported the Republican party and was involved in state and national politics. Lewis Webb died on February 2, 1883.","The documents were passed down through the Webb family and stored in the different homes the family occupied. Dr. Lewis Warrington Webb, Jr., the grandson of Lewis Warrington Webb, loaned the documents to the Norfolk Historical Society for analysis. He donated the collection to the University on December 3, 1976.","The records of the Borough of Norfolk primarily involve the Common Council. The legislative power of the borough was vested in the Common Council. The Council was composed of sixteen members. The members could elect one of their number to be president. The committees were an important part of the government. The majority of laws were drafted by the committees at the direction of the Council. The Council had the right to collect taxes and to appropriate funds for construction and improvement of public buildings. The Council levied a tax on goods sold in the public market.","The records of the Navy Yard involve the years from 1829 to 1870. The primary documents in this section of the collection are the records of the Navy agents. The duties of the agents were directed by the Navy Commission Office in Washington. The Commission was an administrative body charged with the administration of naval material. The agents directed their requisition requests and submitted monthly expenditures to the Navy Commission Office.","The Navy agents worked on a commission basis. They were involved in securing supplies for the Navy and in the purchase of material for the con-struction and repair of ships and buildings at the yard. The agents acted as a liaison between the Navy and the civilian contractors. They placed advertisements in the Norfolk newspapers describing the Navy's specifications for materials and supplies. The agents inspected the quality of merchandise delivered to the yard. They paid the contractors for acceptable items. The agents supervised auctions of condemned government property.","Naval officers and seamen requested the agents to pay their dependents a monthly portion of their pay while they were away from home. The agents selected the modes of transportation and provided a travel allowance for men in transit.","The Navy agents received their funds from the Fourth Auditor's Office, United States Treasury Department. They submitted accounts and vouchers to the Fourth Auditor's Office each quarter.","The agents were generally prominent men. George Loyall was born in Norfolk on May 29, 1789. He graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1808. Loyall was a member of the House of Delegates from the Borough of Norfolk, 1817-1827. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1829. George Loyall was a member of Congress, 1831-1837. He was Navy agent of Norfolk from 1837-1861. Loyall resigned his position on April 17, 1861 because of his southern sympathies. His first wife Rebecca Tyler died in 1812 and his second wife Margaret Kelly died in 1855. George Loyall died on February 24, 1868. He is buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery in Norfolk.","Francis Mallory was born in 1805. He was appointed a midshipman in the Navy in 1822. He resigned from the service in 1826. Mallory practiced medicine in Norfolk for several years. He served in Congress from 1837 to 1843. Mallory was the first president of the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad. He was appointed Navy Agent in 1850. Mallory's first wife Mary Shield died. He later married Mary Wright. Francis Mallory died in Norfolk on March 26, 1860.","Many of the letters sent to the Navy agents involved Commodore Lewis Warrington. He was born at Williamsburg, Virginia on November 3, 1782. He attended the College of William and Mary. Warrington was appointed midshipman in the Navy on January 6, 1800. He fought in the war with the Barbary pirates. Warrington performed distinguished service during the War of 1812. He was promoted to master commandant in 1813. Warrington was given the command of the USS Peacock. He engaged and defeated the British brig Epervier off Cape Canaveral on April 29, 1814. Warrington captured the cruiser Nautilus on June 30, 1815. He was a member of the Navy commission from 1826 to 1830 and again from 1840 to 1842. Warrington commanded at the Gosport Navy Yard from June, 1821 to December 1824 and again from May, 1831 to October, 1840. He was appointed Secretary of the Navy in 1844. Warrington was married to Margaret King. He died on October 12, 1851.","The Navy Yard was evacuated and burned by the Confederate Navy on May 10, 1862. The Union forces reoccupied the Navy Yard. The federal government designated the installation the United States Navy Yard. Commodore John Livingston was given the command of the Navy Yard. He was born on May 22, 1804. Livingston was Executive Officer of the USS Congress during the Mexican War. Early in the Civil War he commanded the USS Penquin, and later the USS Bienville, operating in the blockade of Wilmington and Hampton Roads. He was transferred to command the USS Cumberland. Livingston became ill and was forced to leave the vessel before it was sunk by the CSS Virginia. He assumed command of the Navy Yard on May 20, 1862. In November, 1864 he was transferred to command the Naval Station at Mound City, Illinois. He died in New York City on September 10, 1885.","The collection contains documents of several nineteenth-century merchants. William T. Fleet was one of the most successful businessmen operating in Norfolk. He was a grocer and commission merchant. Fleet was primarily a dealer in grain, flour and meal.","Lewis Warrington Webb, Jr.","Dr. Lewis Warrington Webb was born in Norfolk on March 1, 1910. He attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in 1931 and his Master of Science degree in 1932. He became a licensed professional engineer in 1955. Webb completed post-graduate studies at the College of William and Mary, the United States Military Academy, and the University of North Carolina. He received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Hampden-Sydney College in 1967.","Webb entered the education field in 1932 as an instructor of physics and mathematics at the Norfolk Division of the College of William and Mary. He was granted tenure in 1938. Webb was appointed Assistant Director of the college in 1942, received full professorship in 1944, and served as Director of the Defense and War Training Program from 1940 to 1944. He was appointed Director of the college in 1946 and held this position with the title being changed to Provost and in 1960 to President. When the school separated from William and Mary in 1962, Webb became the first president of the newly named Old Dominion College. He retained this position until his resignation in 1969. Dr. Webb's papers as President of O.D.U are also housed in Special Collections.","Dr. Webb returned to teaching, serving as Chairman of the Department of Physics and Geophysical Sciences from 1973-1974. He received many civic and educational awards. The title of President Emeritus was awarded to him upon his retirement in 1974.","Dr. Webb was married to the former Virginia F. Rice.

The documents were saved from destruction during the Civil War by Lewis Warrington Webb. He and his descendants contributed to and preserved the documents.","Lewis Warrington Webb, Bourough of Norfolk, Gosport Navy Yard","Lewis Warrington Webb was born on September 26, 1826. He was in the drug business before the Civil War. Webb was Collector of the Port of Norfolk when the war began. He maintained an office in the custom house. In April of 1861, war between the North and the South appeared to be imminent. The federal authorities realized that the Navy Yard could not be successfully defended. They ordered the evacuation and destruction of the ships, stores, equipment and records. Lewis Webb gathered many of the documents stored in the customs house and placed them in a trunk. The documents included late eighteenth and nineteenth century records of the Borough of Norfolk and records of the Gosport Navy Yard. Webb contributed documents to the collection until 1870.","After the Civil War, Webb served as a member of the military council, Auditor of Public Accounts, member of the Board of Police Commissioners, a member of the State Legislature and as the Deputy Collector of Customs in Norfolk. He supported the Republican party and was involved in state and national politics. Lewis Webb died on February 2, 1883.","The documents were passed down through the Webb family and stored in the different homes the family occupied. Dr. Lewis Warrington Webb, Jr., the grandson of Lewis Warrington Webb, loaned the documents to the Norfolk Historical Society for analysis. He donated the collection to the University on December 3, 1976.","The records of the Borough of Norfolk primarily involve the Common Council. The legislative power of the borough was vested in the Common Council. The Council was composed of sixteen members. The members could elect one of their number to be president. The committees were an important part of the government. The majority of laws were drafted by the committees at the direction of the Council. The Council had the right to collect taxes and to appropriate funds for construction and improvement of public buildings. The Council levied a tax on goods sold in the public market.","The records of the Navy Yard involve the years from 1829 to 1870. The primary documents in this section of the collection are the records of the Navy agents. The duties of the agents were directed by the Navy Commission Office in Washington. The Commission was an administrative body charged with the administration of naval material. The agents directed their requisition requests and submitted monthly expenditures to the Navy Commission Office.","The Navy agents worked on a commission basis. They were involved in securing supplies for the Navy and in the purchase of material for the con-struction and repair of ships and buildings at the yard. The agents acted as a liaison between the Navy and the civilian contractors. They placed advertisements in the Norfolk newspapers describing the Navy's specifications for materials and supplies. The agents inspected the quality of merchandise delivered to the yard. They paid the contractors for acceptable items. The agents supervised auctions of condemned government property.","Naval officers and seamen requested the agents to pay their dependents a monthly portion of their pay while they were away from home. The agents selected the modes of transportation and provided a travel allowance for men in transit.","The Navy agents received their funds from the Fourth Auditor's Office, United States Treasury Department. They submitted accounts and vouchers to the Fourth Auditor's Office each quarter.","The agents were generally prominent men. George Loyall was born in Norfolk on May 29, 1789. He graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1808. Loyall was a member of the House of Delegates from the Borough of Norfolk, 1817-1827. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1829. George Loyall was a member of Congress, 1831-1837. He was Navy agent of Norfolk from 1837-1861. Loyall resigned his position on April 17, 1861 because of his southern sympathies. His first wife Rebecca Tyler died in 1812 and his second wife Margaret Kelly died in 1855. George Loyall died on February 24, 1868. He is buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery in Norfolk.","Francis Mallory was born in 1805. He was appointed a midshipman in the Navy in 1822. He resigned from the service in 1826. Mallory practiced medicine in Norfolk for several years. He served in Congress from 1837 to 1843. Mallory was the first president of the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad. He was appointed Navy Agent in 1850. Mallory's first wife Mary Shield died. He later married Mary Wright. Francis Mallory died in Norfolk on March 26, 1860.","Many of the letters sent to the Navy agents involved Commodore Lewis Warrington. He was born at Williamsburg, Virginia on November 3, 1782. He attended the College of William and Mary. Warrington was appointed midshipman in the Navy on January 6, 1800. He fought in the war with the Barbary pirates. Warrington performed distinguished service during the War of 1812. He was promoted to master commandant in 1813. Warrington was given the command of the USS Peacock. He engaged and defeated the British brig Epervier off Cape Canaveral on April 29, 1814. Warrington captured the cruiser Nautilus on June 30, 1815. He was a member of the Navy commission from 1826 to 1830 and again from 1840 to 1842. Warrington commanded at the Gosport Navy Yard from June, 1821 to December 1824 and again from May, 1831 to October, 1840. He was appointed Secretary of the Navy in 1844. Warrington was married to Margaret King. He died on October 12, 1851.","The Navy Yard was evacuated and burned by the Confederate Navy on May 10, 1862. The Union forces reoccupied the Navy Yard. The federal government designated the installation the United States Navy Yard. Commodore John Livingston was given the command of the Navy Yard. He was born on May 22, 1804. Livingston was Executive Officer of the USS Congress during the Mexican War. Early in the Civil War he commanded the USS Penquin, and later the USS Bienville, operating in the blockade of Wilmington and Hampton Roads. He was transferred to command the USS Cumberland. Livingston became ill and was forced to leave the vessel before it was sunk by the CSS Virginia. He assumed command of the Navy Yard on May 20, 1862. In November, 1864 he was transferred to command the Naval Station at Mound City, Illinois. He died in New York City on September 10, 1885.","The collection contains documents of several nineteenth-century merchants. William T. Fleet was one of the most successful businessmen operating in Norfolk. He was a grocer and commission merchant. Fleet was primarily a dealer in grain, flour and meal.","Lewis Warrington Webb, Jr.","Dr. Lewis Warrington Webb was born in Norfolk on March 1, 1910. He attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in 1931 and his Master of Science degree in 1932. He became a licensed professional engineer in 1955. Webb completed post-graduate studies at the College of William and Mary, the United States Military Academy, and the University of North Carolina. He received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Hampden-Sydney College in 1967.","Webb entered the education field in 1932 as an instructor of physics and mathematics at the Norfolk Division of the College of William and Mary. He was granted tenure in 1938. Webb was appointed Assistant Director of the college in 1942, received full professorship in 1944, and served as Director of the Defense and War Training Program from 1940 to 1944. He was appointed Director of the college in 1946 and held this position with the title being changed to Provost and in 1960 to President. When the school separated from William and Mary in 1962, Webb became the first president of the newly named Old Dominion College. He retained this position until his resignation in 1969. Dr. Webb's papers as President of O.D.U are also housed in Special Collections.","Dr. Webb returned to teaching, serving as Chairman of the Department of Physics and Geophysical Sciences from 1973-1974. He received many civic and educational awards. The title of President Emeritus was awarded to him upon his retirement in 1974.","Dr. Webb was married to the former Virginia F. Rice. They had two children, Dr. George Randolph Webb and Mary Lewis Webb (Mrs. Robert Ash). Dr. Webb died in 1984 and Virginia Rice Webb died in 2003.","Electricity Cost Commission","The governor established the Electricity Cost Commission on March 31, 1975. The Commission was organized in response to consumer concern about the high cost of electricity and the efficiency of the management of the power companies. The governor instructed the Commission to analyze the reasons for high electrical rates, the energy situation in Virginia and in other states, alternative sources of energy, and the projections of the power companies for future demand for energy. The Commission was instructed to publish its findings.","The Commission was composed of twenty-one members. They were divided into four committees. Each of the committees was assigned to analyze a specific problem. Dr. Webb was appointed by Governor Mills Godwin Jr. as Chairman of the Committee on Utility Management. The Commission held meetings each month in Richmond. Public hearings were held to allow people to express their views.","The Commission gathered information from diverse sources. They hired twelve consultants to conduct fourteen independent studies. The Commission utilized testimony from energy experts and federal agencies. Consumer groups, state officials, federal officials, and concerned individuals submitted testimony to the Commission. They examined company reports and annual reports of the electrical utility companies, energy newsletters and newspaper articles.","The collection, which was previously part of the University Archives and filed under RG 2-1B1, was transferred to Manuscripts on 9/22/2025.","The Webb Family Papers contain documents ranging from 1790-1975.

The Commission was instructed to publish its findings.","The Commission was composed of twenty-one members. They were divided into four committees. Each of the committees was assigned to analyze a specific problem. Dr. Webb was appointed by Governor Mills Godwin Jr. as Chairman of the Committee on Utility Management. The Commission held meetings each month in Richmond. Public hearings were held to allow people to express their views.","The Commission gathered information from diverse sources. They hired twelve consultants to conduct fourteen independent studies. The Commission utilized testimony from energy experts and federal agencies. Consumer groups, state officials, federal officials, and concerned individuals submitted testimony to the Commission. They examined company reports and annual reports of the electrical utility companies, energy newsletters and newspaper articles."],"custodhist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe collection, which was previously part of the University Archives and filed under RG 2-1B1, was transferred to Manuscripts on 9/22/2025.\u003c/p\u003e"],"custodhist_heading_ssm":["Custodial History"],"custodhist_tesim":["The collection, which was previously part of the University Archives and filed under RG 2-1B1, was transferred to Manuscripts on 9/22/2025."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Identification of item], Box [insert number], Folder [insert number and title], Webb Family Papers, Special Collections and University Archives, Old Dominion University Libraries.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["[Identification of item], Box [insert number], Folder [insert number and title], Webb Family Papers, Special Collections and University Archives, Old Dominion University Libraries."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Webb Family Papers contain documents ranging from 1790-1975.

Personal Correspondence; Series II: Publications; Series III: Certificates and Legal Documents; and Series IV: Miscellaneous.","Arthur Strauss, the main focus of the collection, was a physician, poet, art collector, and painter. He was born in 1864 in Halle, Westphalia, Germany. His father, Abraham Strauss, was a physician. Arthur studied medicine and received his medical diploma in 1888. He specialized in Dermatology and published a textbook on skin diseases in 1895. He settled in Barmen, Germany where he had a successful medical practice. In 1900 Arthur married Lucy Hertz. Arthur and Lucy traveled extensively throughout Europe and also to the east coast of the United States. Many of the letters in the collection were written during these travels.","Arthur and Lucy had one son, Arnold, in 1902 who also became a physician. Arnold worked as a pathologist at a hospital in Berlin. In 1933 Adolf Hitler came into power in Germany and began to implement his policies against Jews. Because the Strausses were of Jewish ancestry they were subject to these discriminative policies and found it hard to continue to work. In 1933 Arnold and his parents immigrated to the Netherlands. In 1935 Arnold secured a position at St. Vincent's Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia and immigrated to the United States. Arthur who was a very patriotic man and loved Germany greatly, was reluctant to leave Europe. It wasn't until 1938 that he finally gave up hope of returning to Germany and agreed to immigrate to the United States. Thus when Arnold began trying to obtain immigrant visas for them to join him in the United States it was probably too late due to the large numbers of people also trying to leave Europe at the time. He also unsuccessfully tried to obtain an immigration visa for his fiancee, Irmgard Keun, a German author. When the German army invaded the Netherlands in May 1940 the Strauss' became trapped there. Arthur and Lucy Strauss endured four months of the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Then after apparently losing hope of being able to join Arnold in the United States, they took their own lives in September 1940. Arnold's long-distance relationship with Keun eventually came to an end as well. In 1941 Arnold married an American, Marjory Ware Spindle. Arnold died in 1965.","Note written by Special Collections Staff","Keun, Irmgard.  Ich lebe in einem wilden Wirbel: Briefe an Arnold Strauss 1933 bis 1947.  Selected and edited by Gabriele Dries and Marjory S. Strauss. Dusseldorf: Claassen, 1988. In German","The collection contains personal correspondence, publications, diaries and journals, business papers, and other material belonging to the Strauss family, a Jewish family from Germany. The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence between Arthur and Lucy Strauss between the years of 1900 and 1933. Most of the collection is in German.","Before publishing quotations or excerpts from any materials, permission must be obtained from Special Collections and University Archives, and the holder of the copyright, if not Old Dominion University Libraries.","Collected by Arnold F.
