Access to the Collection

Search Tips

    • Current country names may have changed, but documents in the database are indexed under the names of the countries during time the documents were created. Try historical country names if you are not retrieving any relevant results.
    • Search parameters “Mine,” “Prospect,” and “Project” retrieve the same results.
    • Certain countries have data for states or counties; others have only country-level data.
    • The original database, developed in the mid-1980s, included many fields which were never fully developed. As a result, there are blank fields in the database—you may wish to try a range of search combinations if you are not finding what you hoped.
    • Documents and maps in the Anaconda Geological Documents Collection date from the 1890s to 1986.
