We charge $10 per hour for research. We also offer the first half hour free, in case we don't have any amount of information for the person. Members can research or have research done for them free in lou of volunteer hours. Most people are so excited about our findings that they make a donation over and above the research fee.

2010 Dozen Distinctive Destinations Announced!
[cid:[cid:image001.png@01CAA583.87F09430]<http://www.preservationnation.org/ddd>For 10 years the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Dozen Distinctive Destinations<http://www.preservationnation.org/ddd> program has annually selected communities across America that offer cultural and recreational experiences different from those found at the typical vacation destination. From dynamic downtowns and stunning architecture to cultural diversity and a commitment to historic preservation, sustainability and revitalization, the selected destinations boast a richness of character and exude an authentic sense of place.
This year’s destinations range from a culturally diverse New England seaport steeped in the arts and a bustling city known as the “Gateway to the West” to an Appalachian music-heritage trail, an Alaskan gem rich in Native American and Russian history and a charming Southern city with deep roots in space exploration.
For the first time, the public will determine which of the 12 destinations will be the 2010 Fan Favorite. From February 3 to February 28, any legal resident of the U.S., 18 years of age or older, can vote as often as they like for their favorite city or town on this year’s list. The winner of the popular vote will be announced on March 1, 2010. Voters are automatically entered to win a complimentary two night stay at any Historic Hotel of America. No purchase necessary. Offer void where prohibited.
Visit www.PreservationNation.org/ddd<blocked::http://www.preservationnation.org/ddd> for official voting rules, information about Historic Hotels of America, to learn more about this year’s destinations, and to begin voting!
The 2010 list of America’s Dozen Distinctive Destinations includes:
Cedar Falls, Iowa – With recreational activities ranging from kayaking on the Cedar River to shopping on its acclaimed Main Street, Cedar Falls delightfully connects a dynamic downtown with its natural surroundings.
St. Louis, Mo. – Destination highlights are nestled amongst the historic brick buildings that line St. Louis’ cobblestone streets, proving the city lives up to its iconic status as the “Gateway to the West.”
Marquette, Mich. – Named one of the 100 Best Art Towns in America, cosmopolitan Marquette offers wonderful views of the Lake Superior waterfront and an equally enchanting downtown.
Fort Collins, Colo. – The great Rocky Mountains overlook the thriving businesses of Fort Collins’ Old Town Square – a vibrant area that so epitomizes the ideal of a bustling American main street that it was actually used as a model for “Main Street, USA” at Disneyland.
Provincetown, Mass. – This New England seaport town, site of the 1620 signing of the Mayflower Compact, positions fabulous galleries and restaurants next to National Seashore dunes and beaches.
Simsbury, Conn. – This quintessential small town appeals to the heritage traveler with its top-rated restaurants, historic sites and parks and real working farms that produce everything from wine to sweet corn to homemade ice cream.
Rockland, Maine – With great pride in its maritime past and present, Rockland blends tradition with an innovative spirit and delivers delicious dining opportunities as well as historic lighthouses and museums.
Chestnut Hill, Pa. – Enjoying a unique combination of colonial and modern history, Chestnut Hill features historic homes ranging from Federal to Modernist, a boutique shopping district, and recreational opportunities at nearby Wissahickon Valley Park.
Huntsville, Ala. – Still preserving the largest collection of antebellum homes in Alabama, Huntsville has grown from its deep southern roots to become “America’s Space Capital.”
The Crooked Road: Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail, Va. – The Crooked Road celebrates the region’s rich Appalachian heritage, weaving together quaint historic districts that share a past steeped in a uniquely American music culture.
Bastrop, Tex. – Only 30 minutes from downtown Austin, Bastrop takes visitors back in time with traditional Texas charm and historic buildings set along the banks of the Colorado River.
Sitka, Alaska – Sitka prides itself on its diverse cultural heritage and offers a glimpse of a unique chapter of American history, while the extraordinary wilderness in its backyard beckons visitors to explore the largest temperate rainforest in the world.

I'm the Project Director for the National Public Housing Museum's oral history program, and I'm writing to invite you and the rest of the Midwest Oral Historians group to our March 1st plenary. I'm attaching a flyer about the day as well as a draft agenda of the plenary proceedings. Please feel free to forward the flyer on to others.
One of the goals of the plenary will be to flesh out a pilot oral history program that focuses on youth as interviewers; we're hoping to launch the pilot this summer. We're also going to be brainstorming about different museum programming ideas that will grow from our oral history work. The plenary is free, and lunch is included, but space is limited - you can RSVP to me or to One of the goals of the plenary will be to flesh out a pilot oral history program that focuses on youth as interviewers; we're hoping to launch the pilot this summer.

Note: People from throughout the U.S. comprise the Midwest Oral Historians. We gather informally to assist in the advancement of oral history in the U.S. Midwest and to determine whether a more formal organization should be created. All replies to this post go directly to the listserv moderator, Troy Reeves, head of oral history program at University Wisconsin at Madison. So, let him now if you want your response to be forwarded to the group at large or if you would like to be removed from the listserv. And check out our website at http://moh.library.okstate.edu/.
Three quick hits:
1. Meet Herman Roberts: During the 1950�s and 60�s Robert�s Show Club was the place to see top Black entertainers like Sammy Davis Jr. ,Sarah Vaughn, Redd Fox and others. Segregation limited housing options for the entertainers, so Herman Roberts opened the Roberts Motel . The obvious need for a Black motel encouraged him to open four others. In 1970, Mr. Roberts opened a sixth motel that included two penthouse party suites, a restaurant, lounge, ballroom and 250 sleeping rooms. Come to learn about the hey day of Chicago�s South Side, view a photographic exhibit of the night life, and meet the man who was one of its central figures. It�s a piece of Chicago Black History that you won�t want to miss!!

Bill, your questions are interesing as we "struggle" with finding the right approach in asking for donations/collecting fees. We do not presently have a structured fee schedule for our services. We have talked about charging a flat rate for different kinds of research, but it has not been implemented yet and no final decisions have been made as to the rate. All research is done by volunteers.
Your website is very nice with wonderful picturs and a wealth of information!
Regards,
May Schultz

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.
