Our Projects
Master Plan 2008
Artifact Collection and Inventorying
To build a museum we need artifacts, memorabilia, photographs, and archival documents to add to our collection. We actively pursue old collections from Yellowknife history or the NWT's mining past.
Geology and Mineral Collection
The proposed Interpretive Centre will include a wide array of unique northern geology and mineral samples. We are actively collecting rocks from different mines, mineral showings, and geologic environments.
Mining Heritage Intrepretive Centre Construction
Renovation of the former Giant Mine recreation hall into the main exhibit hall for the Mining Heritage Interpretive Centre is our primary objective.
Mining Heritage Museum Fund Raising
To build our Mining Museum and Interpretive Centre the Society must raise some capital funds for renovations, landscaping and exhibits.
Outdoor Displays
Development of outdoor exhibits has been a primary objective of the NWT Mining Heritage Society. It promotes historical displays to celebrate Yellowknife and mining history throughout town but focuses its efforts on the erection of old mining equipment at its future interpretive centre at the Giant Mine townsite.
Repair to Rec Hall Foundation
The foundation wall under one corner of the rec hall was collapsing so we had to make some repairs. The new cement wall was constructed by Nextreme Steel Specialists and should last for many many years to come.
