• Mining District Files database (Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology).  The Mining District Files consist largely of historical and current maps, reports, articles, photographs, correspondence, databases, etc. on all aspects of mining in Nevada. These have largely been donated to the NBMG over the years from individuals, companies, and other government agencies. Items that have been scanned and converted to Acrobat PDF file format are live linked to the document title. Clicking on the title will down load the PDF file, however many of these files are large (1 to 5 or more megabytes in size) so you should be on a high-speed connection if you wish to view the scanned version of the documents. The scanning program is ongoing.
