Are you saying if you go to the Municpal Archives in person, they will let you browse for $5 and have copies made for only $2? What a deal. All you have to do is get there and pay for room and board. Is an appointment with them necessary?

Genie Last time I was there, it's $5.00 to search for the day. Certificates, which you can see before you buy, were $5.00 each. Still a bargain. The staff is very helpful. It's a gorgeous old building. Good Luck.
