Publications of the Mining Experiment Station and School of Mines

ARRANGEMENT AND DESCRIPTION

The majority of the descriptive information presented below has been taken from several lists of Publications of the Mining Experiment Station and School of Mines, and may contain slight inaccuracies. Where MASC holds these items, they can be found in MASC's University Publications collection at WSU 163 (note that the University Publications collection also holds items not on this list, and only holds most, but not all, of the items included on this list - this is a compilation of publications, not a list of holdings). We have updated the original lists here to include publications released after those dates.

This list was created by University Archivist Mark O'English and University of Idaho graduate student Timothy Mace in August and September of 2010.
