Other than the transcribed text used for description, there is little or no additional textual content on most of these maps.","According to McAteer:","The maps are the result of a project to map the explosion of the Upper Big Branch Mine in 2010.  The mapping involved an analysis of charcol resulting from the explosion of the coal to determine direction, speed, and force of the explosion.  The maps are dated by when an investigation was conducted on a section of the mine represented by a map.","The alpha-numerics associated with the maps correlate to the\nMSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) report of the\nUpper Big Branch explosion.","There were four teams conducting the investigation which took place over 10 months, 12 hours per day.  Each day maps (of where the explosion occurred) were prepared for the teams, which met briefly in the morning at 6am.  During the physical investigation, evidence was recorded onto the maps showing the results of flame and explosion.  There are accompanying pictures to the report.  The accumulated evidence formed the basis of the MSHA report.","This series consists of papers, correspondence, publications, and other material from McAteer's time as Vice President of Special Programs at Wheeling Jesuit University.

I am leaving this one inside the box but removing the one that says \"various books\" following the problem of locating a similar detailed contents list in a previously reviewed box.

Other than the transcribed text used for description, there is little or no additional textual content on most of these maps.","According to McAteer:","The maps are the result of a project to map the explosion of the Upper Big Branch Mine in 2010.  The mapping involved an analysis of charcol resulting from the explosion of the coal to determine direction, speed, and force of the explosion.  The maps are dated by when an investigation was conducted on a section of the mine represented by a map.","The alpha-numerics associated with the maps correlate to the\nMSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration) report of the\nUpper Big Branch explosion.","There were four teams conducting the investigation which took place over 10 months, 12 hours per day.  Each day maps (of where the explosion occurred) were prepared for the teams, which met briefly in the morning at 6am.  During the physical investigation, evidence was recorded onto the maps showing the results of flame and explosion.  There are accompanying pictures to the report.  The accumulated evidence formed the basis of the MSHA report.","This series consists of papers, correspondence, publications, and other material from McAteer's time as Vice President of Special Programs at Wheeling Jesuit University.

I am leaving this one inside the box but removing the one that says \"various books\" following the problem of locating a similar detailed contents list in a previously reviewed box.
