How can I find out what's in the Mining History Archive?

Answer

The Russell L. & Lyn Wood Mining History Archive guide has information on the archive. From there, you can find most of our books and journals in the Library Catalog, as well as hundreds of mine reports and some maps. The catalog also has hundreds of 'non-archive' publications on mining history, so it's a good starting point. Although some of our collections are included in the catalog, many are not or lack detailed descriptions.

Next, you may find the Mines Repository useful particularly the Russell L. & Lyn Wood Mining History Archive items that have been digitized.

If you need further assistance or would like to visit the archives, please contact the library.
