If the research is very involved, we may ask you to visit the archives in person to conduct your research, or charge research fees at $25 per hour. We will not proceed with paid research until discussing it with you. Please do not send payment before talking with staff. While we do not have set fees, we greatly appreciate donations for reference services.
