Almost 1,600 specimens collected for the original survey of all four reservations are housed at the Harvard University Herbaria. You can download a [.csv file](/file_url/2042) that includes the scientific names and herbarium barcode. Specimen records and images are available by searching using the barcode number in the [Index of Botanical Specimens](https://kiki.huh.harvard.edu/databases/specimen_index.html). The barcode search field is located in the lower right.

Related to the original survey, a survey of the Middlesex Fells Reservation was conducted by Bryan Hamlin and Walter Kittridge from 2003-2011. A [.csv file](/file_url/2043) and specimen records in the database are also available for these specimens.
