The history of mining methods to rescue the most valuable undergrounds goes back tens of years. These experiments implemented by a team of specialists from the AGH University of Science and Technology resulted in saving many historic mines, drifts, cellars, caves. They now serve as interesting archaeological sites, underground tourist routes, museums, spas. The adverse effects of time, natural hazards and long – term exploitation of underground workings require to take technical actions in order to re – establish the original technical and functional values of the objects. The presented scope of the revitalization activities allowed to save for future generations many underground monuments that are the testimony of cultural, industrial and civilization heritage.
