Archivists and other archives staff can conduct basic research for distance patrons. A research fee of $10.00 per half hour will be charged for research conducted by archives staff, including a minimum fee of $10.00 for the first half hour. This fee is for staff time, and is due regardless of whether or not the desired information is located. Each half-hour fee includes up to ten (10) standard-sized photocopies or scans at 300dpi. Additional photocopies or scans require additional charges.
Patrons may also visit the archives to conduct their own research at no charge. Please contact the archivist to schedule an appointment.
