Norman Neuerburg, an art and architecture historian, artist, and university professor, was born in 1926 in Universal City, California. After serving in the army in Italy during World War II, Dr. Neuerburg received his B.A. in Greek from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1953 and his M.A. and Ph.D. in art history from New York University's Institute of Fine Arts, in 1955 and 1960, respectively. From 1955 to 1957, he was a Fellow at the American Academy in Rome.
Dr. Neuerburg taught art history at many major research institutions, including the University of California, Los Angeles, University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Riverside, University of Southern California, Indiana University, the California Institute of the Arts, and California State University, Dominguez Hills. He also acted as an historical consultant to the J. Paul Getty Museum, California's historic missions, El Pueblo de Los Angeles, and the Santa Barbara Trust for Historical Preservation, as well as curator of Spanish colonial art at the Southwest Museum. Dr. Neuerburg died of complications from a stroke in 1997 in his native Los Angeles.
The Norman Neuerburg papers regarding the design and construction of the J. Paul Getty Museum contain materials gathered by the university art history professor in his capacity as historical consultant to the design of the J. Paul Getty Museum, also known as the Getty Villa. The archive contains correspondence, lecture notes and manuscripts, construction reports and updates, numerous drawings and design schemes for the Villa, notes on design schemes, press clippings, photographs, slides, and negatives. The collection begins with the early stages of designing and planning, flows into the period of the Villa's construction, and extends further to the critical and public response and other issues that arose well after the museum opened to the public.
The papers are arranged in six series:
Series I. Correspondence, 1970-1984 (bulk 1970-1975);
Series II. Lectures and manuscripts, 1970, 1973-1976, 1981, 1983 (bulk 1973-1975);
Series III. Construction reports, 1969-1973;
Series IV. Drawings and designs, 1966-1976, 1979-1980 (bulk 1971-1973);
Series V. Press clippings, 1970-1987 (bulk 1974-1975);
Series VI. Photographs, slides, negatives, 1971-1974
Open for use by qualified researchers.

The remainder of Norman Neuerburg's personal papers, including his book, art, and 35 millimeter film collections, are located at the University of California, Berkeley libraries.
Other materials relating to the design and construction of the J. Paul Getty Museum are held by the Institutional Archives of the J. Paul Getty Trust.
