The Department of Mines had the primary responsibility of protecting coal miners from unsafe working conditions. The Department enforced the anthracite and bituminous coal mining laws of the Commonwealth, inspected mines and collieries, investigated serious accidents, and supervised the examination and certification of applicants for certain mining jobs. The Department also supervised the restoration of strip-mine areas, promoted research relating to new uses and markets for coal, and published the annual reports of the coal mine inspectors.
The publications of the Department of Mines contain annual reports and biennial reports. Selected topics from these publications include yearly happenings and statistics of Pennsylvania mines, and the report of the Chief of Mining. The bulk of the current material is dated from 1904 to 1932.
