The home of the N.W.T. Mining Heritage Society - a group that is dedicated to preserving and promoting the mining heritage of the Northwest Territories.

The current focus of the group is the preservation of the A-Shaft Area of Giant Mine, located on the outskirts of the territories' capital, Yellowknife. The mine is in the process of closing down after more than 50 years of continuous operation - which is a long time for a gold mine.
