This series consists of research materials collected by J A Vines in the process of research and writing "A History of the Loy Yang Mine - Its Origins and Development to May 1997" which was published in June 2000.
Work on the Loy Yang Mine History commenced in May 1994 under the auspices of the then State-owned enterprise, Generation Victoria (VA 4078). Following the disaggregation of Generation Victoria on 1 February 1995, responsibility for the writing of the Loy Yang Mine History was transferred to the State-owned Corporation, Loy Yang Power Pty Ltd. This corporation was later privatised on 14 May 1997.
An undertaking was made by the State Electricity Commissioner of Victoria (SECV) Office of the Administrator (VA 4086) following the privatisation of Loy Yang Power Pty Ltd to complete the Loy Yang Mine History. All materials relating to the preparation of the publication were transferred to the SECV Office of the Administrator (VA 4086) on the understanding that the material was to remain intact as a basis for future research. This series consists of drafts and associated research materials such as books, manuals, reports, photographs, drawings and statistical information.
The book was published in June 2000 and joined other publications by J A Vines on the brown coal mining activities of the SECV such as: - "A Technical History of the Yallourn Open Cut to December 1987", "A Technical History of Yallourn North and Yallourn North Extension Open Cuts to 1988", "Train Systems - Yallourn and Morwell Open Cuts" and "A History of Morwell Open Cut to June 1995".
