What We Do
Dedicated to the preservation and recording of mining history
Who We Are
We are a group of people dedicated to the preservation and recording of mining history, Northern referring to our administrative base rather than our field of interest. We started as the Northern Cavern & Mine Research Society in 1960, but our members’ increasing interest in mining led us to change the original name to the present title in 1975.
Now one of the largest such organisations in Britain, we have hundreds of members countrywide and many overseas. Reflecting this, British Mining is Britain’s foremost mining history publication.
Publications
The high quality publications produced by the Society have the general series title of British Mining. Usually a Monograph and a Memoirs are issued annually to each full member.
A Monograph, as the name suggests, is a complete and authoritative dissertation on one mine or area, whereas the Memoirs contain a selection of members’ researches into various mines, miners, techniques and so forth.
A Supplement to British Mining is sometimes released and once again full members automatically receive a free copy. Another benefit for members is the opportunity to purchase single copies of previous publications at a substantial discount.

The Records
The records are available for research purposes and consist of original documents, members’ reports, plans, maps, photographs etc. which are continually being added to by donations from many sources.
The comprehensive indexing of these records is an on-going project, with files being organised on a county and parish basis. In addition, there are indexes to specific sites. The collection is especially strong on Yorkshire material, but other counties are also represented.
The Recorder will be pleased to arrange for the above items to be available to members for consultation on request.
