The National Association
of Mining History Organisations
We were formed in 1979 to act as the national body for mining
history in the United Kingdom. There are now over 70 member organisations, including societies,
museums, firms, etc. and membership now extends to Ireland. On this site, you will find out more
about NAMHO, its aims, its members and its contribution to the mining heritage.
Active mine explorers will also find guidance on
managing archaeological finds underground as well as how to lead
groups of novices and experienced explorers.
Armchair miners are also catered for with an
extensive bibliography.
Some parts of the site need a password to enter.
If you want to see these, please contact the Webmaster.
