Introduction. In January 2011, the Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources (ADMMR)

was closed due to a lack of operating funds. Subsequently, Governor Jan Brewer signed into law a consolidation of ADMMR with the Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS), effective July 1, 2011. As part of this merger, AZGS took custody of all ADMMR files and assets. Governor Brewer’s office requested AZGS inventory, catalog, and scan all ADMMR records and files to ensure their preservation and to improve accessibility to them by industry, government, and the public. At the Governor’s request, a one-time appropriation of $100,000 was approved for AZGS in fiscal year 2012 (FY12) to digitize and preserve the ADMMR files. AZGS received an additional $41,495 from the USGS National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program for FY12. Beginning in July 2011, AZGS undertook to inventory and catalog the analog files held by ADMMR, as the first step in what is expected to be a multi-year program to create a digital archive with complete metadata for all materials. Further, we plan to integrate the ADMMR data repository into a statewide system linked to the USGS National Digital Catalog and the USGS-AASG Geoscience Information Network (USGIN). By August 2012, we completed collections level inventories of all materials in the ADMMR archives: 13,500 folders of mining records from 22 collections; approximately 10,000 maps in the ADMMR map collection; and 7,400 photographs from 6 collections. Collection inventories are available as free AZGS Open-File Reports at the AZGS Document Repository (repository.azgs.az.gov). AZGS created a record for each item according to the ISO 19115 schema. This includes geographic bounding boxes, descriptions, thematic keywords, spatial keywords, temporal keywords and preservation metadata, which will be compatible with the USGIN catalog and the National Digital Catalog Metadata Profile. Once digitized, files will be accessible for download through the AZGS Document Repository and the USGS National Digital Catalog.
