The Archives only charges for copies, no research charges. One purchases a coupon book for $5.00 when asking for lookups and if a copy is involved they punch the coupon at 50 cents a copy and return it to you for your next request. Only ask for two lookups at a time. They will lookup anything I have mentioned below, including census. In the later Census years...i..e 1880 and later they do require a county/township or city location for a search.
