Research Fees

The Doy Leale McCall Rare Book and Manuscript Library charges $25.00 per hour (with the first hour payable in advance) for all requests that require our staff to conduct protracted research, whether manuscript requests or major photographic requests. The McCall Library defines "protracted" research as research requiring more than one-half hour's time. If more than one hour of research is required to fully complete a research request, the patron will be notified before additional fees are charged. If nothing is found, no more than one hour's charge will be assessed.

In the majority of cases, we cannot perform research that requires using sources outside of those held by us. Researchers are encouraged, in those cases, to locate an independent researcher.

Additional fees will be charged for long-distance telephone calls, photocopying, and postage.

• FAX copies are $1.00 each.
• Photocopies are on a sliding scale, when copies can be made without damage to the originals.
• Oversized documents, such as maps and blueprints, are $20 minimum.
• Mailing fee for photographs: $7.00 for mailing up to five 5x7 or 8x10 prints, $10.00 for mailing up to five 11x14s, $15.00 for mailing up to five 16x20s. Additional charges may apply depending on the number of prints ordered. Insurance for mailed items is available upon request, the payment of which is the responsibility of the patron.

Prices are subject to change without notification.

Please allow at least ten working days after receipt of payment for your research request to be processed.
