Thank you. > >Robbie Kilgore >kilgore@ionet.net > The Oklahoma Historical Society charges $15 + $.50 a page for copies for non-Oklahoma residents or just the copy fee for Oklahoma residents. Their address is Oklahoma Historical Society, Indian Archives, 2100 N. Lincoln Blvd, Oklahoma City, OK 73105-4997. They will also let you do research yourself for free. Copies are still $.50 a page, or $5 for a Dawes Roll census card package. They're open weekdays and on Saturday (but they close for lunch on Saturdays--I don't know if they also close for lunch on weekdays.) You must bring a picture ID. They have copies of the Dawes Rolls on microfilm, and copies of the Indians and Pioneers interviews done by the WPA. They've got a lot of other stuff in there I've never used but probably would if I knew to ask for it. There are both paid employees and volunteers who work in the Archives, and they are all very nice and helpful. Beverly missbev@theshop.net
