Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 2,769 specimens collected within 10 miles of War Of 1812 Battle Site between 1885 and 1975: 1,750 Animalia, 900 Plantae, 105 Fungi, 7 Chromista, 6 Protozoa, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Selby, A. F. Satterthwait, A. J. Eames and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record.
