Historical Mining Claim Records

Background

As part of an ongoing project to preserve and make accessible Oregon's historical mineral and mining information, DOGAMI is digitizing mining claim records. A pilot project funded by a Library Services and Technology Act grant allowed DOGAMI digitize mining claim records held by the Baker County Recorder’s Office.

County Mining Claim Inventories

Mining claim records for additional Oregon counties will be digitized as resources become available. Inventories of the mining claim records held by each county are available from the Oregon Secretary of State – see county records links below. On the Oregon Historical County Records Guide page, click on a county name, then look for the "Mining Claim Records" section in that county.
