Archives, Guides & Collections

WMMI has custody of three major mining collections as well as numerous smaller collections ranging in size from one or two documents to several folders. Currently, the museum archives is located in a climate-controlled room in the museum’s storage building, a mile from the main campus at 225 North Gate Boulevard. Thus, all researchers who want to examine specific collections must make an appointment with the museum curator to schedule a visit. The archives room is available during normal museum hours from Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm. If a Saturday visit is needed, please contact the curator to set up a time.
