| Curator's note | The Eldorado Mining and Refining Company operated the Beaverlodge uranium mine near Uranium City from 1953 to 1982. The town was established to serve the industry and thrived along with the uranium boom. At its height Uranium City had a population approaching 5,000. When the mine closed in 1982 the local economy collapsed and most of the population moved away. |
