Bill,
We charge $10/hour for members and $15/hr for non
members. They also pay the copying fees that we have and postage. We
charge copy fees because many times we are getting copies from other
offices besides our own and must pay them the same fees. We charge the
same amount whether a researcher is a volunteer or a paid person. But
we do not charge for the use of our facility for research, so a
volunteer that is doing research for someone that did not go through our
society only pays for copies and other costs.
Thank you,

Subject: Research Fees
We are looking to revamp our research request fees, and wonder what
other historical societies charge for that kind of service.
Do you use a flat rate for different kinds of research? Or do you go by
an hourly rate? If so, what is your rate/hour?
If your researchers are volunteers, do you charge the research requestor
for their time?
Thanks, for any help you may wish to share.
