Mining History Association Annual Conferences
The Mining History Association holds an annual conference in a historic mining area. Attendees typically come from across the USA and from several foreign countries. Many extend their trip to visit other scenic, historic, and recreational areas. Each meeting includes program sessions with presentations on a variety of mining history-related topics. Field trips and tours are taken of historic and active mining operations. Social events at the meetings include a Welcoming Reception, President’s Luncheon, and Awards Banquet. There is plenty of time for attendees to get or stay acquainted, compare notes, and share their own interests in mining history.
