Archival Adventures: Coal Mining Fire Boss Reports
Safety First! This week we’re heading back to the early 20th Century with the Big Vein Anthracite Collieries Records (bit.ly/Ms1990-014) and the Superior Anthracite Mines Fire Boss Reports (bit.ly/Ms2009-131). These two collections include daily fire boss reports from 1926 to 1953 for the Big Vein Mine near McCoy, Virginia, operated by the Superior Anthracite Coal Company of Baltimore, Maryland. To learn more before the stream, check out the finding aids (linked above).
Join our community collections archivist, Anthony Wright de Hernandez, for a livestream on Twitch! Every week we explore and discuss materials from Special Collections and University Archives covering topics including university history, NASA pioneers, architecture, science fiction, cooking, LGBTQ+ history, Black history, urban legends, and more. Recordings of previous streams are available on the Libaries' Youtube page.
