The Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology (MBMG) Mining Property File collection was amassed over the years through private and industry donations of engineering and geologic reports, pictures, correspondence, news clippings, and production information. The collection presently contains over 4,400 property-specific files (records). The physical files are organized first by Montana county and then by mine or project name. Files may contain information related to a particular mining claim, a collection of claims, or a mining exploration project. Metadata describing each record includes property name, location (county, historical mining district, township, range and section), georeferences (latitude and longitude), and...

The Geochemistry Repository is an active collection of whole-rock geochemical data generated by the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology (MBMG). The geochemical data are organized in a public facing database with attributes describing sample location, geologic context, analytical method, and laboratory of analysis. Hand samples, thin sections, and powder residues of processed samples are stored in the MBMG Geologic Materials Repository. The collection is digital and available to the public.
The Anaconda Research Collection (ARC) holds over 80,000 inventoried specimens, 10,000 thin-sections, and some geochemical data from various mines around Montana.
Beginning August 1989, a triggered digital recording system was implemented that captured data for larger events but did not provide continuous digital recording. From August 1999 through July 2000, paper seismograms were the only source of continuous seismic data for Montana¿s Regional Seismic Network. This network includes data from 35 recording stations operated by the MBMG as well as data from 7 USGS stations located in Montana and operated cooperatively with the MBMG. Continuous digital data recorded since August 15, 2001 is archived at the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) Data Management Center using a SEED data format. Daily electronic seismograms may be accessed by the general public...
The Geochronology Repository is an active collection of radiometric ages generated by the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology (MBMG). The geochronology data are organized in a public facing database with attributes describing field location, geologic context, geochronology method, and laboratory of analysis. Hand samples, thin sections, heavy mineral separates, and grain mounts of processed samples are stored in the MBMG Geologic Materials Repository. The collection is available to the public.
The Earthquake Studies Office (ESO) of the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology opened in June, 1980 to operate the Montana Regional Seismograph Network. The office collects and analyzes seismic data and reports earthquake information. The ESO also collects and stores seismograms recorded in Montana by other groups and agencies. Prior to 1989, the only method used to collect earthquake data was paper seismograms recorded on drum recorders using pen and ink, or heat pen and heat-sensitive paper. Thus, paper seismograms recorded before 1989 are original (and irreplaceable) records. Beginning August 1989, a triggered digital recording system was implemented that captured data for larger events but did not provide continuous...

The Mineral Museum collection is estimated to contain over 15,000 fine mineral specimens from throughout the world, of which over 1,300 are on display. The collection is protected by an electronic security system. Stored specimens are catalogued (in hardcopy format and on an Excel spreadsheet)using the Hey system and maintained in a secure specimen storage room. Donated specimens are reviewed by the museum curator (a senior MBMG geologist) and accessioned as appropriate. The collection is supported primarily by Bureau funding. Fine mineral specimensIf resources were to become available (funding and staffing), it would be desirable to: 1. the completion of an updated and accurate inventory of specimens in an electronic...
The collection contains geologic, engineering, development, and production information about the Crystal Mountain fluorite mine located in Ravalli County, Montana. Mr. Taber directed the mine's mineral potential evaluation, development, production, and closure. The collection is significant because it represents an intact information repository about the development and operation of one of only two producing fluorite mines in Montana.

The Richard B.Berg Collection contains rock specimens, thin sections, and field books (support data) for research he conducted during his 50-year career with the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology (Bureau). During his career, Dr. Berg authored or co-authored 94 Bureau publications and 46 external publications. In 2008, he received the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers' (AIME) Hal Williams Harding award in recognition of his scientific contributions in industrial minerals. The collection represents a diverse and unique primary resource that may benefit future researchers of industrial minerals.

Water well logs are maintained in the MBMG’s Ground-Water Information Center (GWIC). The collection currently includes approximately 250,000 records (both in hard copy and digital formats) describing water-related resources (wells, boreholes, springs, etc.) in Montana. The paper collection is stored in the GWIC offices at the Bureau. The electronic data is stored on an SQL server and is available over the internet at http://mbmggwic.mtech.edu/. In addition to well log data, GWIC is also actively collecting and maintaining: 33,300 water-quality analyses from 14,700 sites, 2.3 million historic water-level records from 12,300 sites, as well as field-inventory and aquifer-test data.

The Bureau has developed an aerial photo repository. The photos have accumulated over decades, mostly through donations and some purchases for mapping projects. The photos are stored in 45 4-drawer file cabinets ; about half of the photos remain in cardboard boxes (112) in which they were shipped to us. We estimate that there are over 200,000 photos (of varying condition) in the repository. The photos are used frequently by Bureau staff to assist with geologic field mapping and other investigations, and less frequently by the public. Full inventory, reorganization, filing, and creation of indices are short- to middle-term goals. Digitizing of the indices and the photos are desirable long-term goals. Aerial Photographs...

The collection contains environmental assessment-related information pertaining to the development of the New World Mine adjacent to Yellowstone National Park in Park County, Montana. The proposed mine created substantial public concern and, in 1995, a public trust purchased the property and withdrew it permanently from future mining development. The collection contains over 53,000 pages of geologic, hydrogeologic, and geophysical data represent the most comprehensive extant data set related to this world class Eocene epithermal gold deposit and 1,217 project-related maps.
The collection is housed in a modern building just off the Montana Tech campus. It is organized in 2,679 drawers and is estimated to contain more than 80,000 specimens including many polished slabs and over 10,000 thin sections. The collection was initiated as early as 1940 and expanded through 1981. The specimens in this unique and outstanding collection are largely from Butte (Montana) underground mines, but a significant number are from other districts in which the Anaconda Company had interests or were visited by Anaconda Company geologists. A variety of specimens were collected by Anaconda Company geologists in their travels. Sample locations from the Butte mines are plotted on min-level maps (scale 1 in =...
