Research Fees and Services
All material must be used in the archives. Researchers must agree to adhere to the Rules of the Archives before he/she will be provided with access to the material.
Research in Person
Researchers are charged the regular museum admission fee for self directed research. Staff will provide up to 1⁄2 hour of assistance without charge. If more time than this is required, staff time will be charged at $25 per hour and fees will be pro rated to the nearest 1⁄4 hour.
External Researchers
Staff welcome research inquiries received by telephone or email. There is no charge, if the information is readily available. If staff must dedicate more than twenty minutes to fulfill a request, researchers will be charged $25 per hour (pro rated to the nearest 1⁄4 hour). External researchers must pay in advance by cheque or by Visa or Mastercard. We recommend that researchers approve an hour or two of research. Staff can generally survey the collection and advise what material is available and estimate costs for reproduction in that time.
