Biographical / Historical

Robert Alonzo Brock (1839-1914), historian, antiquarian, and collector, was born in Richmond, Virginia. He left school at thirteen and entered his uncles' business; on the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the 21st Virginia Regiment, and later was transferred to a hospital unit with which he served for the duration of the war.
He is best known for his valuable contribution in the editing of source materials for Virginia history, as well as for his activities as corresponding secretary of the Virginia Historical Society (1875-1893), and secretary of the Southern Historical Society (1887-1914).
In the field of manuscripts alone, Brock accumulated some 50,000 pieces having to do with Virginia and the South. The collection consists of many groups of family papers, business and legal material, Civil War correspondence and documents, land papers, religious and fraternal society records, literary manuscripts, scattered county records, and quantities of miscellaneous Virginiana, nondescript as well as rare, together with his own voluminous correspondence.

Scope and Content

The materials cover a period from 1582-1914, although the main bulk of the manuscripts come between 1780 and 1900 Brock's collection of papers and manuscripts relating to political, military, economic, religious, social, and genealogical history of the state of Virginia. Included are papers of prominent Virginia families, business firms and businessmen, religious and fraternal organizations, government offices and departments, politicians, statesmen, and administrators. The large group of individual items described by a misnomer Miscellaneous File and Miscellaneous Manuscripts apparently constituted the core of Mr. Brock's collection.
