As does this organization attempt to do for prospectors/miners in Colorado, the South West Oregon Mining Association is an organized group of miners and others actively working to preserve and protect the mining heritage of South Western Oregon. This organization takes a proactive stance toward the promotion and protection of mining in Oregon elsewhere.

Jefferson Mining District is actively looking to develop a mining archive library for the benefit of the miners inside the lines of its jurisdictions.
At this time, we are seeking donations of articles, books, maps, mining records, photographs and other information pertaining to mining, roads and related topics in the following areas: Oregon: Curry, Coos, Josephine, Jackson, Klamath, Lake, Douglas, Lane, Deschutes, Crook and Harney Counties. California: Del Norte, Siskiyou, Modoc, Humboldt, Trinity, Shasta, Lassen, Plumas, Tehama, Mendocino, Lake, Glenn, Colusa, Sutter, Tuba, Sierra, Nevada, Placer, El Dorado, Amador, Alpine, Calavaeras, Sacramento, Yolo, Napa and Sonoma Counties. Nevada: Carson City, Storey, Douglas, Pershing and Lyon Counties. Donations of these materials, in print or digital format, is not only much appreciated, but essential to help preserve and protect our mining rights. In particular, we are looking for old maps that clearly show old roads and trails, as well as records pertaining to individual mines and mining areas. We also welcome first hand accounts from the old timers who have witnessed the mining history in their area. If you are a miner inside of our district, we would also like to encourage you to take an active role in the Jefferson Mining District inside your particular mining area by volunteering to get involved in our important work. To donate digital information to Jefferson Mining District, please e-mail it to: jeffersonminingarchive@gmail.com To donate printed material, please mail it to: Jefferson Mining District Attn: Archive Work Group PO Box 416 Sutherlin, Oregon 97479 |
