The starting point was a review of secondary sources supplied to the project, followed by a review of a wide range of other secondary sources. The principal information gaps were defined, and an 2
examination of primary sources was instigated, including Mines Department records for both NSW & Vic. Comparative analysis data was also gathered. Fieldwork was undertaken. In NSW, fieldwork was confined to Kosciusko National Park, and undertaken in mid-October by Rob Kaufman and Lorraine Thompson, LRGM - Services. The condition of tracks and the attending weather conditions severely limited access to remote sites, but sufficient sites were visited to develop a overall view of mining in the Park, and record major sites in the Kiandra district and several other areas. In Victoria, several key mining sites/areas were visited and recorded, with additional assistance from Andrew Swift, Bright, Vic. The project was done in four stages according to the Project Brief, each separately presented for comment. These individual reports were edited and re-organised for the final report. The general format of a Conservation Management Plan was used to prepare the final report. That is, sufficient histories and descriptions were generated, along with comparative data, to assess significance. This was then used to formulate general policies and guidelines for conservation and management of mining heritage. The report finishes with specific actions for presentation of selected historic mines & landscapes, and detailed recommendations for mining heritage management on a unit-by-unit basis. Extensive appendices follow, and a separate database has been included with the final report. Historical data generated during the project has been collated on a unit-by-unit basis, and is presented in a series of binders as resources for local management use. __________________________________________________________________________________ 3
