SME Transactions has ceased publication as of the end of 2018. Your online subscription will cover the 2010-2018 volumes. (Each SME Transactions volume consists of three sections: up to 20 new papers on subjects ranging from mineralogy to mine safety, all of the peer-reviewed technical papers from the year's Mining Engineering , and all of the peer-reviewed content of the year's Minerals & Metallurgical Processing .)

SME Transactions was published as a hardbound book until 2010. To purchase older volumes, contact the SME bookstore at books@smenet.org . Many older volumes are still in stock.

 

These are the available online volumes. If the viewable options are not available, you
will need to purchase the most recent year to view those volumes.
