Emily:
You will find the fee schedule for the
Library/Archives Division of the Nebraska State Historical Society on our
website at www.nebraskahistory.org/lib-arch/services/refrence/fees.htm.
We have recently increased some fees for services and copies to more accurately
reflect our costs in staff time and in materials. These fees go into our cash
fund which is used to pay for a portion of our operational costs -- everything
from salaries, to utilities, to equipment, to supplies for collection care and
housing . We do place a portion of our reproduction fees for photographs in a
technology fund which is used to update equipment.
Our parent institution, the Nebraska State
Historical Society, operates our gift/book shop, so we don't deal with the
sales issues that you mention.
I hope that this helps with your policy
review. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions.
