Collection

Academy of Natural Sciences stamp collection
Collection — Box: 1
Identifier: ANSP-Coll-0994

This amalgam did not benefit those other stamp collections, and in fact obscured the context of their original collectors' efforts, so those collections have been separated. The materials which remain are found in this...
