Bulletins: The Bulletins present accounts of original research and frequently are not limited to the presentation of the results of a single research project, but may contain a number of research papers on related topics. They were issued by the Mineral Industries Experiment Station from 1922 to 1974.

Circulars: Mineral Industires Experiment Station Circulars present reviews of research in progress, reports of scientific information presented at technical meetings, and other matters of interest concerning the E&MS College. These were issued from 1929 to 1970.

Technical Papers: These consist of copies of papers published in scientific journals that were distributed by the Mineral Industries Experiment Station. These were issued from 1932 to 1953.

Contributions:  Similar to the technical papers series, this series consisted of reprints of articles published primarily in the 1940s.

Special Publications: These are generally publications of large tables of data or other information of interest which originates at the Experiment Station. (TN24.P4P45)

Office of Naval Research Technical Reports: These reports were part of contracts from 1948-1957. 

Special Research Reports:  These were largely prepared for the Pennsylvania Coal Research Board.  They were issued from 1957 - 1993. (TP325.P45)

Coal ResearchSection Technical Reports: Reports proposed under contract to the United States Department of Energy from 1975 - 1980. (TN800.P45)
