The period between 1860 and 1920 saw the development of mining engineering as a profession, with journals, societies, and university programs. At the same time, mining engineers, as a group, gradually assumed more control over mining operations, both by being employed by more firms and by having greater responsibilities within mining companies. Mining engineers used visual tools – mine maps, blueprints, photographs, and models – to help them do their work. The creation and control of visual tools represents an important piece of the story of the professionalization of mining engineers that has hitherto gone largely unnoticed. I argue in this dissertation that if we are to understand the ability of mining engineers to increase effici...
