Česká geologická služba je pověřena Ministerstvem životního prostředí vést registr starých důlních děl ve smyslu § 35 ČNR č.44/1988 Sb., o ochraně a využití nerostného bohatství (horní zákon), ve znění pozdějších předpisů a §§ 1, 2 vyhlášky MŽP ČR č.363/1992 Sb., o zjišťování starých důlních děl a vedení jejich registru.
The database was developed in 1993 by converting the data from the original inventory of impacts of mine workings, which was maintained by CGS-Geofond since 1988 as authorized by the Ministry of the Environment. The database is being systematically updated and modernized.
The database also contains digital documentation in JPEG format, e.g. maps, photographs or diagrams.
