A variety of reference materials are used in developing this site and in the publication of the Black Range Naturalist. When those materials are in the public demain and are not to large we post them to this site, for our later use, and for yours should you choose. All are available for download.
These materials are grouped into large groupings, as follows:
- Non-animal life (A cumbersome title meant to indicate that it includes more than flora. Fungi, etc. are also included.)
- Geology. A significant amount of geologic fieldwork has been done in the Black Range.
- Animal Life.
- Early Travelers & Settlers in the Range. Reports of expeditions, articles, and personal reports.
