Introduction
Scope and Contents
This collection of documents was brought together in support of the story told in the published history of Western Mining Corporation (WMC), Mandarins and Mavericks: remembering Western Mining 1933-2005, by Martin Summons, published by Hardie Grant Books in 2017.
The collation of documents, prepared by past employees of WMC is not in itself comprehensive but rather an additional resource to the published history. The electronic files contained in the collection are PDF conversions of a mixture of born-digital content (such as written documents prepared on computer) and digitised hard copy material (for example scanned historical photographs).
The date range attributed to the collection is for the original coverage, rather than the date of PDF conversion. Some dates are unknown.

Archival material relating to Western Mining Company is also held at the National Library of Australia within the Papers of Sir Arvi Parbo (refer to the Library's catalogue record at http://nla.gov.au/nla.cat-vn4583412).
Custodial History
A committee of former Western Mining Company (WMC) employees commissioned a history of WMC. The committee brought together a range of archival source material, in digital format, from a range of sources. The first document within the collection (1.01) documents the coverage of the project and attributes authorship where known.
