Coal Reports of Illinois - First District Index 1882-1927

The purpose of this website is to provide easy access to the names of coal miners who were injured or killed in mining accidents between 1882-1927 within the First District of Illinois, as well as the names of Certificated personnel.

This index is compiled of information gathered from the Coal Reports of Illinois.  Please enter a surname to search the database. 

More specific information about accidents and deaths is available by emailing the Adult Services Department at the library or the Carbon Hill Historical Society and School Museum (mmicetich@comcast.net).

This project was made possible through funding by the Illinois Historical Records Advisory Board.

Additional Illinois Coal Reports can be found at the Hathi Trust.

Please note that this is an on-going project.
