Oregon Historical Mining Information

Mining Records - Klamath County

The digital records available here are scans of the literature originally found in DOGAMI published and unpublished hardcopy holdings. Scans have been combined into single PDFs that may include maps, letters, news clippings, photographs, and reports. Note that some PDF files are very large.

This digital archive is evolving. Please contact us if you have suggestions or find errors. DOGAMI acknowledges Tomas Benson and Carol DuVernois for their excellent work on the DOGAMI historical documents scanning project.
