The Genevieve Moore Papers consist of correspondence and research files that Moore compiled in her capacity as editor of Pay Dirt magazine and The Mining Journal. These files contain extensive information on federal regulations relating to mining operations including labor, mine safety, monetary policy, environmental protection, use of public lands, taxation, and trade policy. Although the papers extend from 1912 to 1971, the bulk of the collection concerns federal regulations and corporate management of mining operations in the Southwestern United States from 1945 to 1970.
