Summary/Abstract: This study presents the history of brown coal mining in the southern Slovak brown coal basin according to archive research in the inter-war period. We have written the mining history on the basis of documents located in the State Mining Archive in Banská Štiavnica, the State Archive in Banská Bystrica and its branch at Veľký Krtíš and in the Archive of the Dolina mine in Veľký Krtíš. We have processed the history of these localities where mining of brown coal mining occurred in the analysed period after establishment of particular mining locations according to cadastral territories. Mining is considered as a process by which coal was obtained to be sold commercially or used in the agricultural econo-my. We analysed a total of 13 localities.
