This report, contained on a portable hard drive, includes approximately 20,000 scanned documents from the NBMG Mining District collection in pdf file format. The disk also includes an index to the collection with a JavaScript search engine. This application requires Internet Explorer, FireFox, or other browser with JavaScript enabled. To view the scanned images you must have Adobe Reader or other software that will open a PDF file. The disk is USB2/FireWire compatible and includes cables.

The NBMG Mining District Files consist largely of historical and current maps, reports, articles, photographs, correspondence, assays, production reports, and reserve information on all aspects of mining in Nevada. Most have been donated to NBMG over the years from individuals, companies, and other government agencies. Over the last several years NBMG has undertaken digital conversion of these paper documents to scanned images.

Several other statewide maps and reports that provide additional background information on Nevada's mineral resources are contained on the disk.

These files are also accessible on the Web at: http://www.nbmg.unr.edu/mdfiles/mdfiles.htm

The digital file conversion project at NBMG is ongoing. If you have questions about this project contact Ron Hess at 775-784-6692 or via email at rhess@unr.edu.
