Have you ever wondered what it was like to run a coal mine?
This summer, you can help the museum uncover a new piece of mining history by helping our curators transcribe a newly-rediscovered mining journal. The journal chronicles the day-to-day rhythms of work at two Pennsylvania coal mines during a particularly dramatic year. Learn more and get involved: http://s.si.edu/miningin1897
Many thanks to the Smithsonian Transcription Center and all our digital volunteers for your help with this project!
