The World Museum of Mining got its start in 1963, as the brainchild of members of the Butte Exchange Club, a civic organization. John M. Guilbert was the General Chairman of the Museum Committee. Other members of that spearhead group were Rayworth Howe and Len Colvin, cochairmen, and James Chelini, Jack Keely, Bob Nottingham, Jack Latka, Bill Lynch, Walter Russert, Ora Scott, Ed Sparks, Les Waite, and James Kreitzberg. Other members of the club were also active in the formative stages of the Museum.
The Club realized the immense scope of their undertaking, but the response from the community — individuals, businesses, and government — was almost immediate and was very generous. The Museum was incorporated as a non-profit organization in October, 1963, with John Guilbert (President), E.E. MacGilvra, and F.E. Lienemann (Treasurer) as Directors. By the spring of 1964 a full Board of Directors had been chosen, including Samie Jane Keith (Secretary), Frank Antonioli, James Archibald, Rayworth Howe, Hubert Johnson, Jr., Edwin Koch, Leonard Lively, George O'Connor, Edward Renouard, Edward P. Shea, and Thomas Wigal, as well as Guilbert, MacGilvra, and Lienemann.
An early major supporter, in terms of donations, was John Clayborn Moore of Helena, who donated many artifacts including the Chinese Herbalist's Shop from Blackfoot City, the stone arrastra, and the old-time organ. Moore's donations totaled more than $60,000 in value — in early 1960s dollars.
By April 1964, land had been donated by the Anaconda Company for a museum site east of Harrison Avenue, but before the end of May, the site had been changed to the current location at the Orphan Girl Mine, which was also donated by the Anaconda Company.
Even before there was a physical museum, the first member of its Mining Hall of Fame had been chosen. Reno H. Sales, chief geologist with the Anaconda Company from 1903 to 1948, was known as "The father of modern mining geology." He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in April 1964.
Throughout 1964, the Butte-Anaconda Standard-Post (as the daily paper was then known) was full of reports of new donations to the Museum. Financial support was provided by the Montana Historical Society and the American Institute of Mining Engineers (AIME), as well as countless individuals and the Anaconda Company. With a lot of hard work — all of it by volunteers — the Museum held its opening day on Sunday, July 18, 1965. By that time, Dr. E.A. Bartoletti, a Butte dentist, had succeeded John Guilbert as the President of the Museum; Guilbert had left Butte and the Anaconda Company to become a professor of geology at the University of Arizona.
