"The most important mineral resource in Sullivan County has been coal, and for many years the county was one of the most important coal-producing areas in Indiana. The value of the total product of the mines in Sullivan County has reached billions of dollars (at current prices), and mining is still being done. Mining has affected the lives of all citizens of the county, whether or not they are directly involved in mining coal. This is the second county report on coal mining published by the Indiana Geological Survey. (Special Report 34 on Vigo County was the first.) Although it is primarily concerned with coal geology, other aspects of the industry are also treated, including historical developments, engineering problems encountered in mining, environmental problems produced by past mining, and speculations concerning the possible course of future events. A summary of the chemical characteristics of coal seams is also included. It is hoped that this report will interest a wide audience, not only coal geologists but also residents of Sullivan County, land-use planners and government officials, and the coal industry. Besides presenting maps and data relating to past developments and the current status of the coal industry, this report attempts to familiarize the reader with the types of information available from the Indiana Geological Survey and the possible uses and limitations of this information. Providing an overview of the coal industry in the county has been emphasized, but persons wishing information on coal resources in particular areas may also find the report useful. Readers requiring more detailed information for their own interpretations can contact the Indiana Geological Survey to obtain original sources of data."

This collection contains papers relating to the Duane family and families related to the Duane family. The majority of the collection concerns the papers of James Duane, a prominent New York lawyer, patriot, and land developer. There are also a substantial number of papers relating to Duane's son, James Chatham Duane, a lawyer of Duanesburg and Schenectady, and of his son-in-law George William Featherstonhaugh. The collection also includes a substantial number of papers, largely correspondence, relating to other Duane family members, predominantly William North Duane Jr., great-great-grandson of James Duane, his mother Anne Dalliba Duane, and others. ; James Duane (1733-1797) also known as James the Jurist, was the son of Irishman Anthony Duane, who came to New York as an officer in the British Navy in 1698. After his father's death (ca. 1734), Duane became the ward of Robert Livingston. Duane fell in love with and married Livingston's daughter Mary in 1759. He took the bar and made a number of profitable real estate investments and was a prominent lawyer by the time of the American Revolution. He was a member of the Revolutionary Committee of New York, the Continental Congress, and was one of the signers of the Articles of Confederation. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention, served as mayor of the city of New York from 1794-1789, and as a U.S. District judge from 1789-1794. James Chatham Duane (1770-1842), son of James Duane, was a lawyer in Schenectady, New York. He married Marianne Bowers, daughter of Henry Bowers of New York City. Duane spent his life working on the development of the Duane estate at Duanesburg, both political changes, industrial unrest, financial panics, and anti-rent riots combined to decrease his holdings drastically.
