We typically do not let people bring in their own scanners unless we first
discuss their project and the materials they will be using or scanning.
There are times when it is best to have the researcher do their own
scanning, but most of the time we will let them select their materials and
scan for them. This helps ensure that the materials are handled correctly
and gives us a chance to see if the item has already been digitized.
We charge $10.00 per digital copy whether we scan the item, the researcher
scans the item and even if we already have the item digitized and stored on
our network. The fees help offset the cost of maintaining our library and
most researchers can appreciate that.

We have not had this happen to us yet. We would not allow people to scan
our documents at this time. We do make Xerox copies for them and charge for
that.This is something we need to address at the Kenosha History Center
Archives.

How do others handle a situation like this:
We have researchers who bring their own laptops and flatbed scanners
along when doing research at our museum.
If they find documents in our files relating to their research, they
scan them into their computers. At this time we
are not charging anything as this practice is relatively new. How do
other museums accommodate this situation?
Do you charge per page? Or do you charge a flat fee?
Thanks for your help.
