SUBJECT GUIDE 7 : COLLIERY PERSONNEL RECORDS

Issue no. 9 December 2016

Listed below are those records which contain names and, in some cases, other information, of miners and other colliery workers. The list is arranged alphabetically by colliery, with the records which do not relate to individual collieries at the end of the sequence. The first column contains the colliery name, with the pit, if different, in brackets; the second column contains the name of the colliery company or association which originated the records (association abbreviations are expanded below); the fourth column contains the DRO reference numbers for the records. It must be emphasised that this list is only a brief guide to the records, and more details are available in the catalogues to the relevant collections of documents which should be consulted before documents are requested.
