Welsh Mines Society (Member of the National Association of Mining History Organisations) AN INDEX TO THE NEWSLETTERS : Nos.1 to 53 (April 1980 to Winter 2005) Introduction This index has been compiled primarily as an aid to researching sites, although a very slight cover of other subject areas has also been made. I have listed sites under ‘traditional’ rather than current counties & hope to add parishes for all sites, mainly as shown on the provisional 1:25,000 OS map (ca 1950). There may be errors & omissions – any contributions would be gratefully received so the index can be updated. It is also hoped to incorporate this into an index covering the publications of other mining & caving organisations. Alasdair Neill The index is split into a county by county listing, (running geographically from the south west to the north east) with Welsh counties listed first, then the UK, followed by the rest of the world ! It is the first comprehensive index to be issued by the Welsh Mines Society to enable better access to the growing wealth of information on Welsh mines and mining as previously published in their twice yearly Newsletter. The compilation of this index was carried out by Mr Alasdair Neill, to whom we owe our thanks. Subsequent ‘typesetting’ has been completed by myself. Michael P.
