The public is invited to attend a free, multi-media presentation of oral history stories hosted by The Miners' Story Project at The University of Arizona Mineral Museum and Flandrau: The UA Science Center.

Copper Miners' Stories: The People of San Manuel, a collection of oral history stories and images from San Manuel miners and their families, is made possible thanks to a grant from the Arizona Humanities Council. The presentations will run one hour, and the remaining time will be an open house.

As the culmination of a yearlong effort, Project Coordinator Shipherd Reed will present selected stories about life in the mine and the town using audio recordings, photographs and anecdotes.
