An indispensable map to a vanished trade.A must for mining historians.This Index to Volume VII of Mining Magazine, July to December 1912, compiled by A. Rickard, T., unlocks a single year’s run of a mining industry periodical and serves as a tightly focused historical mining journal in its own right. As a technical reference anthology and mining technology compendium, it organises the issues and contributors that shaped contemporary discussion of mineral extraction techniques and early twentieth century mining practice. Structured for practical use, the index makes it straightforward to locate material by topic or contributor and to follow the emergence of mining engineering advancements through references and subject headings. Useful to field specialists, classroom teachers and casual readers with an interest in industrial narrative alike, it brings primary-source clarity to the workaday concerns, debates and technical thinking that underpinned the British mining sector in 1912.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions.Restored for today’s and future generations.More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure.Its significance is archival and interpretive: as source material for 1912 industrial history it illuminates a formative moment in the British mining sector and provides a ready reference for researchers and historians exploring economic, technical and social dimensions of the trade. Suited to an academic library collection but also to private shelves, the volume will reward students of vintage engineering literature, engineers tracing lineage in method, and classic-literature collectors who prize authentic period context. Accessible, well organised and evocative, this index bridges specialist scholarship and curious inquiry, making a year of technical debate convenient to consult and rich in historical value. It is both a starting point for new research and a reliable companion for reference. Collectors and curators will value its provenance and context.
