30 Years!  William Culver left teaching in 2007 to concentrate on mining history. He had taught courses in political science and Latin American studies at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh since 1971.
His mining history research has concentrated on 19th century copper politics, mostly in Chile. His most recent work looks at James Douglas and the nature of Douglas’ metallurgical innovations and his career overall – Douglas went to Chile in 1871. Culver has one edited book, Miners and Mining in the Americas (1986), and many articles on the history of Chilean copper mining in both Spanish and English. His article “Capitalist Dreams: Chile's Response to Nineteenth Century Copper Competition.” won the 1990 Conference Prize (American Historical Association, Conference on Latin American History, for the “Best Article on Latin American History”), and the article has subsequently appeared in several collections. He is active in the International Mine History Association, as well as the Historians of Latin American Mining, and the Mining History Association (USA). In other interests, Culver writes on national legislatures in Chile, Argentina, Peru, and Bolivia, where he sometimes offers seminars for staff and the newly elected representatives.
