Folklore: SW mining stories being collected

Subject: Folklore: SW U.S. mining stories being collected
From: Desert Dancer

A new project from the University of Arizona (my employer, though not my department) is collecting stories from miners and mining communities in the southwest U.S. (sorry, didn't get the U.S. in the subject line).

They've got some stories available online already: Miners Story Project. One of them, the First Woman Truckdriver, was run on the local (UA-based) public radio station. It was well-done.
