Specialties: The Archives actively collects manuscripts, records, and photographs pertaining to the history of Butte-Silver Bow. The Archives holds over 2,000 collections comprising over 22,000 lineal feet. The collections are comprehensive and interrelated and provide dynamic insights into the history of the second industrial revolution (the electrification of America) and the history of copper mining. Home of the world's largest copper deposit, Butte was once one of the most radically and ethnically diverse settlements in the West and was the wellspring of the western labor movement. The records and the manuscripts in the care of the Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives provide essential information on a number of subjects in the American West, including the history of technology, environmental history, the history of women and minority groups, and labor history. The resources at the Archives are numerous and most everything is available to the public. Established in 1981. The Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives was established in 1981 by ordinance to maintain the non-current records of the city-county of Butte-Silver Bow. Given the significant industrial, political, and social history of Butte in the American West, the government records and archival holdings are in great demand by scholars, authors, and genealogists.
The Archives also accepts collections, manuscripts, and photographs from individuals, groups, schools, and organizations. The collections run the gamut from individual memorabilia to major historical documents donated by individuals, fraternal and sororal organizations, schools, and businesses.
The Archives provides and encourages public access to its unique holdings. People come away from the Archives with a new-found appreciation of history and the significance of preserving the documents and manuscripts that tell the story of Butte and, through its significant impact, the world.
