This is the WikiProject Mining Library, a place to gather useful resources that may be of general interest to the WikiProject and Wikipedians in helping to expand and source articles. As a goal is to have all articles adequately sourced, this collection should help achieve this.
NOTE: All sources must be freely accessible by any user, be non-commercial or historical, be public domain or freely-licensed (or be hosted by the copyright holder), and must not be locked behind or passwords or paywalls.
Most resources listed are from the Internet Archive, which hosts freely-available full digital scans of many older works that are in the public domain or otherwise freely-licensed in the United States; copyright status in other countries has not been assessed, though the individual links are to pages with full details for each works.

Mining and Scientific Press
[edit]This was a weekly illustrated newspaper/magazine published from May 24, 1860 onward into the 20th century, by Dewey & Co. (later Dewey Publishing) in San Francisco, California, USA.
The paper is well-illustrated, and covers metal and ore mining and extractive metallurgy (and some popular science), focusing primarily on the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and to a lesser extent Central and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, with scattered articles on mining around the world (e.g. Russia, Korea). It often includes detailed profiles of individual mines or mining districts, some with geological, section, and plan diagrams, as well as shorter news reports from mines and mining regions in each edition, as well as profiles of new technologies.
Editions that have fallen into the public domain in the United States (Pre-1923) have been scanned and uploaded to the Internet Archive, arranged into volumes consisting of six months worth of the paper:
