Research patrons and microfilm costs



Colleagues:
We here at the Arkansas History Commission and State Archives (AHC) need
your help with another of those endless surveys. This one is about microfilm
costs and research room patrons. Any help you can give will be appreciated.
1.      We currently sell positive copies of newspapers, etc., filmed by the
AHC. Our current charge for a 100 foot roll of microfilm is $25.00 (in
state) and $35.00 (out of state).  The questions is:

        Do you sell positive silver copies of 35mm microfilm?  What prices
do you charge to libraries, archives and historical societies?  Do you have
a different charge for private individuals?
2.      The AHC is open to patrons Monday-Saturday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.
Our patronage for 1999 was 12944.   Thus far in 2000 we have had 9300
patrons.  These numbers are down from 1997 when our patronage peaked at
14244.  The question is:

What were your attendance totals for patrons using historical and
genealogical materials for 1999 and 2000 (year to date)?  Are you showing a
decrease or increase in patronage?  If so, to what do you attribute the
change?
