Oregon Historical Mining Information

Historical Society Geology Related Records

Background

As part of an ongoing project to preserve and make accessible Oregon's historical mineral and mining information, DOGAMI is digitizing geology-related records in historical society holdings. A pilot project funded by a Library Services and Technology Act grant enabled DOGAMI to digitize mining claim records held by the Josephine County Historical Society and the Gold Hill Historical Society, Jackson County.

County Historical Societies

Geology-related records for additional Oregon counties will be digitized as resources become available. Historical societies may have additional geology-related records ? see links below. Additional information about historical records held by counties is available in the Oregon Historical County Records Guide and at the Oregon Historical Society.
