Alaska Gold Rush Centennials

The Alaska State Legislature designated 1994-2004 the Alaska Gold Rush Centennial Decade. The Office of History and Archaeology has promoted the 100th anniversaries of gold discoveries that took place around Alaska and coordinated the state's commemoration programs.

The Office of History and Archaeology (OHA) has materials, developed in cooperation with other agencies and groups, to promote understanding of the Gold Rush era in Alaska's history. An Alaska Gold Rush Trails and Time Line brochure, with major events, notes on participants, and a map showing routes of travel and the progression of gold discoveries in Alaska and the Yukon is available from the office. Other materials available from OHA include a guide to researching a Gold Rush participant, a selected reading list, and a chronology. An on-line documents-based teaching package, Alaska's Gold, has been developed by the Alaska Division of Archives, Libraries and Museums, Department of Education and Early Development.
