Mining Records - Polk County
The digital records available here are scans of the literature originally found in DOGAMI
published and unpublished hardcopy holdings. Scans have been combined into single PDFs
that may include maps, letters, news clippings, photographs, and reports. Note that some
PDF files are very large.
This digital archive is evolving. Please contact us if you have suggestions or find
errors. DOGAMI acknowledges Tomas Benson and Carol DuVernois for their excellent work on
the DOGAMI historical documents scanning project.
