Eastern Regional Coal Archives
The Eastern Regional Coal Archives, located in Bluefield, West Virginia, serves as a vital research facility dedicated to preserving the rich heritage of the coalfields in Southern West Virginia. It houses a diverse collection of historical materials, including artifacts, blueprints, company records, photographs, and oral history tapes, all aimed at making the coal industry's history accessible to the public.
This unique collaboration between public and private sectors was significantly bolstered by the 1983 Pocahontas Coalfield Centennial Celebration, which contributed a wealth of memorabilia to the archives. With ongoing support from the A.R. Matthews Foundation and the local public library, the Eastern Regional Coal Archives continues to promote public history as a dynamic force in the development of the coalfield region.
