Gold mining by large numbers of people began very quickly in California after the discovery by James W. Marshall on January
24, 1848. After the gold rush dwindled in the 1860s, gold continued to be mined throughout the state. This collection is a
small group of materials reflecting mining activity in a period of general decline of the industry.
