Correspondence, organizational papers, meeting proceedings, and newspaper clippings of the Coal Miners Research Project. Originating in 1976 with plans for a UMWA oral history project encouraged by union president Arnold Miller, it formally evolved into the Coal Miners Research Consortium and Coal Miners Research Association with broader goals of documenting coal industry related archival and oral history collections throughout the United States. A survey of collections was conducted with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and information from the survey is contained in Guide to Coal Mining Collections in the United States by George Parkinson.
