So they operate outside the library onus of service and access. The archive is only acessible by appointment, free to the university community, but those outside the university can access for $55 for the first hour, $30 for each additional hour. Aerial photos can be checked out for $12 per photo, $15 for each scan. If staff have to retrieve the photo, there is a retrieval fee of $100 per location. Some non-profit groups may be able to negotiate a waiver of fees. All the rules are listed at http://www.rsgis.msu.edu/policies.htm Kathleen Weessies Maps/GIS Librarian Michigan State University 100 Library W308 East Lansing, MI 48824 (517)432-6123 x250 -----Original Message----- From: Johnnie D.

This doesn't include a fee for scanning or a research fee for identifying the appropriate photographs. This is similar to the NARA Archival Handling Fee that is charged to archives vendors and passed on to the customer. Thank you for any help you can provide. John John M.
