PROJECTS
In addition to conducting and presenting original research, offering educational and commemorative events, and pushing forward our original effort to have a major San Francisco landmark named after Emperor Norton...
The Emperor Norton Trust — previously The Emperor's Bridge Campaign — is engaged in a wide variety of additional projects intended to honor the life and advance the legacy of the Emperor.

Some of these are active, ongoing efforts that the Trust has been working on since we launched in 2013.
Some are concept-phase opportunities that are "on the runway" right now — but that the Trust wants to nurture to maturity.
Still others — like our Emperor Norton Birth Date Research Project, our ARchive of Emperor Norton in Art, Music & Film (ARENA) and our new Emperor Norton Map of the World — started out on the list below but have developed enough to "graduate" into our "permanent collection" of resources.
All of them represent things that we believe need doing on behalf of the Emperor — and on behalf of the living histories and the cultural arcs that can be traced through him.
Please explore the following project pages, to see what else we're up to — and to consider how you might like to plug in!
