Hi All With regards to having a map with all the mines on ­ they can be added to GOOGLE MAPS ­ with the right naming and perhaps suffix ­ they would appear on google maps if someone searches for ³early witwatersrand gold mines² Maybe someone has a better Idea ?

Hi Paddy! Please can I have a map? I will see what I can do about getting the other books.

Hi everybody, I have a book called "Fifty Golden Years of the Rand: 1886-1936) by Jacobsen and published in 1936. It has a pretty good map in the back showing the gold mines as at 1936. I do not know if the book is still copyright but I would think that just scanning the map for personal use and not for commercial distribution would qualify as "fair use". If anyone would like a copy of the map please let me know and I will send it off-list. The file is just over 5Mb in size. BTW, there is a book called "The Gold Mines of Southern Africa: The History, Technology, and Statistics of the Gold Industry" by Letcher, also published in 1936 (I do not have a copy) which may be useful for those with a connection to the mining industry.
