Of interest... ----Original Message Follows---- From: Russell Baker <[email protected]> Reply-To: Russell Baker <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ARCHIVES] Use Fees (publication of whole documents) Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2004 12:25:06 -0500 Gordon: I have been to several religious archives and local historical society archives that charged use fees. At one there was no charged to use the guides to the collections but if the archivist had to pull any material of any kind a fee of $5.00 was charged for that item. The next item was also $5.00, etc. At an other institution there was about a $5.00 use fee per day to use the facility itself. This fee got you the help of the director of the archives. I was very willing to pay each fee because the archives had material unavailable elsewhere. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Russell P.

I have searched various websites and found almost nothing on this subject. There are a lot of use fee policies for photographs and digital images (We already have a good use fee structure for photographs and digital images). Does your institution have a policy regarding use fees on manuscript collections and if so, what are some sample charges? I appreciate any help that you can give me.
