Can any list member tell me the proper procedure for ordering photocopies of documents listed in the Online Archive Catalogue of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council Archives. The site, although excellent, doesn't seem to address this point, or if it does it is hidden in the small print. I sent them an email enquiry on 8th February but to date I have not received a reply.

Hello Richard, I had the same question a couple of weeks ago and I emailed the East Riding Archives at this address... archives.service@eastriding.gov.uk You have to email the Archives at the above address with the Finding Number and title of the document you are wanting copies of. They will email you back with a price. You will need to complete and sign a Copyright form which they will send to you and send a cheque, payable to 'East Riding of Yorkshire Council' (in sterling). They don't take any form of electronic payment that I could find. If the Cayman Islands are anything like Canada, it will cost you an arm and a leg to get a cheque or money order in sterling. I'm trying to make up my mind whether sending for the 4 pages I need copying is worth the $25 bank fee on top of the copying and postage fees of £7.30. I wish they would take PayPal or something similar. Good luck, Gill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard W.

I don't know if it's an option here, but some places you can ring with a credit card number, after you have ordered the document needed. Looks like it might not be possible with these Archives. Tell them that Teesside Archives lets you do this! I agree with the comments about the exorbitant prices we "foreigners" have to pay for sending cheques, or even doing Direct Credit internet banking transactions...my last one added over a third to the price, and then somehow the amount paid into the receiver's account still was not enough.
