Various Books

Containers:
Box 230
Scope and content:

This box includes papers and publications covering coal mining, mining safety, WV law, and occupational safety & health. The papers include correspondence from publishers and authors that would have been sent with the materials and some unbound reports. JDM presumably used these materials for research purposes. [Is it worth giving this box an improved title?] This box contains a more detailed box list which includes the names of all documents and publications found inside. 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. These materials are fine being housed as they are. A few related papers not listed (including the contents list and some correspondence) should be placed into a letter-sized folder to prevent potential damage. Total 20 items and one folder.
