Georgetown, Idaho Springs & Clear Creek County
Historic material from Georgetown, Idaho Springs and Clear Creek County, where George Jackson’s 1859 placer gold strike helped launch the Colorado gold rush, and where Georgetown later grew into the “Silver Queen of the Rockies.” The Colorado Central Railroad’s Georgetown Loop, completed in 1884, became one of the most photographed engineering feats in the West. This category includes Clear Creek County mining stock certificates and claim certificates, photographs, maps and local history. Each item is described with its date, issuer, signatures and condition, and with the claims, district or scene it records. The county’s mining story spans gold placers, silver lodes and long drainage tunnels, and its documents reflect every stage. I am glad to help with research questions about any company or place represented here.
