Mining stories that wear, work, and matter.
by Mine Like a Woman
Welcome to Impact Journal. A space where design, mining, history, and humanity intersect.
Here, creative process meets lived experience. A shirt becomes a record of care. A photograph becomes memory. A story becomes connection.
Mining has always been more than rock and machinery. It is culture, invention, and the people who hold communities together. Impact Journal tells those stories, from the families who fed the strikes to the engineers who built new worlds underground.
Each piece is written to remember, to design with intention, and to recognize the people whose work has shaped the world we inherit.
An Archive of Care and Courage
In every mine, mill, and community hall, some stories refuse to fade. This journal gathers them with care.
-
Stories of impact. People and moments that changed mining and the cultures around it.
-
Design notes. Dispatches from the studio and the field where ideas become visible.
-
Cultural archives. Reflections on art, music, and movements that continue to influence industry and identity.
-
Voices of heritage. Interviews and profiles that document the human side of progress.
Impact Journal lives between Peggy Bell Design and Mine Like a Woman. It is both studio and story. It asks what we build, why it matters, and how we can carry those legacies forward with care.
The Voice of Mining
The Voice of Mining shares the stories of people who built, led, and lived this industry. It preserves memory and honors those whose work shaped communities and culture. Through oral histories, reflections, and creative storytelling, it connects the past to the present, reminding us that mining’s true legacy is found in its people and the impact they leave behind.
