Easy to use, simple to navigate, fun to explore, and will be packed with images and information.
 
"e-Museum" collections include:  tools, dynamite boxes, blasting items, assay equipment, assay reports, ore cars, aerial tramway items, bottles, ore specimens, letters, personal writings, poems, maps, drawings, sketches, documents of all kinds. In addition to all that, the largest digital collection of Utah mining, mining related, oil, land, water, banking, railroading, and other company stock certificate images ever published to the web including some of the rarest known. 
 
SPECIAL NOTE: I have not been able to devote much time to the wesite this past year. My father passed away last January. Family needs and estate matters have consumed my time. Having said that, with 2022, regular updates and new items will be added monthly if not more often! All kinds of new things to explore and learn about will be shared! Thank-you for your patience! Yes, I know I still have some links to correct as well. All will be addressed.

   The   TREASURE HOUSE RELICS PROJECT (THRP)
 
is the name of this undertaking.  I share this project here. 30 years of exploring, research, and collecting all brought together in one place.  The goal, to create the most complete, comprehensive digital archive of early hard-rock mining in Utah ever published to the web. I'm just getting started and it will take years to add it all, so check back often to see what's new.
