Sorry James, but I have to correct you.

The "Lackawanna Coal Company" you refer to is probably the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour, owned and operated by the county. Adjacent to them is the Pennsylvania Anthracite Heritage Museum, owned and operated by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. I don't believe the Coal Tour has a permanent collection, and if they do, it is probably small. The museum, however, is a fantastic resource for mining history and should be able to help. You can contact them at (570) 963-4804. 

Of course, they concentrate their efforts on northeast Pennsylvania anthracite mining.


Sincerely,
A former intern who started his museum career at that museum (muffled sound) years ago :)

  Connie,
      I dont know if this will help but the Lackawanna Coal Co, outside Scranton Pa. may be able to assist you. I don't know if they have a website( didnt look honestly) but they can be reached at570-963-mine. This is in the heart of Pennsylvania mining co right in the Applachians. It is run by the Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission I belive , this may be additional help.

    Subject: miners clothes


    I was hoping someone might have some information on  coal miners clothing in the early l900's?  In both outergarments and undergarments? Also, any information on women's clothing, as it would pertain to families living in the coal camps.  I am interested primarily in coal mining clothing  in the Appalachian region and the midwest.
    I write historical poetry and want to get all details accurate.
    Thank you for any help!
