Many individuals contributed to the full butterfly collection but C.R. Crowe supplied most of the Oregon specimens. Little is known about how the collection was prepared or how it came to be donated to Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve. Jackson Bottom volunteers Dennis Deck and Tom Brandt indexed and photographed the specimen cases for this web page.
