As a consultant, I receive $75/hr for short-term projects (1-6 weeks); for
an ongoing very part-time project lasting 6-9 months, I would suggest $30.
However, most museums cannot afford that. Depending on the situation $20-25
might suffice. My fees are considered mid-range, and many other consultants
in Atlanta charge $125 for similar services.
