Recent Publications on the History of Mining

Compiled by :Lysa \'{legman-French

At the suggestion of a reader, we have re­considered our edito rial policy not to include books in this compilation. Up to the present, we have not included books because they were covered in the book review section of the journal and in book notices in the association's newsletter. However, we have realized that it is not possible to include all the books being published within those two venues. \'{le also think it will be useful for members to be able to find all recent pub­lications in one location.

The following list thus marks the first time that we are including books in the compi­lation. You will notice that it increases the length of the list substantially. To make it more useable, we have divided the list into two sections: books (including media) and articles (including dissertations). The list still does not include book review articles. The scope remains the same: the histo1y of all types of mining in North America . Thanks to those who sent in suggestions for this install­ment. We welcome citations for inclusion in the next update.

A compilation of the "Recent Publica­tions" lists, which covers approximately 1991 to 2005, can be found on the Mining History Association web site at www.mininghistory­associa tion. org
