The MSHA Digital Libray photograph collection includes over 1000 historical mining photographs from the original Bureau of Mines collection. These photographs cover a wide range of topics connected the mining, including underground, community, mine rescue, and historical scenes. New images will be added to the collection on a regular basis.
