AditNow - for the mine explorer and mining historian

AditNow is the leading web site and forum for the mine explorer, as well as industrial archaeologists and historians. If you have an interest in mine exploration or mining history you will find thousands of mines in the UK and international mines as well as tens of thousands of photos of mines and a vast resource of mining articles and historical documents.

Can you help?

Do you have photographs of mines that you can share? Historical photographs, modern day exploration photographs, below ground photographs and above ground mining related photographs are all welcome as we build up a permanent resource for all interested parties.

If you would like to contribute to the site please feel free to register. You are also most welcome to contribute to the forum and of course to use the site as a resource and information tool!

AditNow is now running on the new server. All photo upload features are now running again.
