I have been using the Archives for 4 years to copy and send me many different kinds of records. Oregon is the only state that I know of that has these really low fees .25 a copy plus postage. Genealogy has become such a huge hobby that the requests are becoming more then some states can handle. Most states I have dealt with are at least $5 and that usually will cover postage. I will be sad to see the prices raised also but hope they are not raised to the extent of the info we have received. $30 an hour for research is pretty steep. I too will be writing to Mr. Turnbaugh and I will be thanking him for the many years of this low cost service and suggest maybe there could be a compromise of somewhere in-between for the fees.
