AIME Digital Library | The American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers

The AIME digital library contains nearly 550 historical technical documents that were converted to searchable PDF format from 2008-2012, thanks to the James Douglas Library Fund income. These archives are now accessible free to members of the 4 AIME Societies all over the world via links on their Member Only webpages.

Fees may be required. If you are already a member, link to the AIME library through your Members Only webpages:
