Hi Vanya,

We have no problems asking for a fee when people or institutions ask us
to use images for which we own the copyright. We charge $150.00 per
image plus a $20.00 handling fee. We specify the use of the image, for
instance: one time only.

Hello all,

Our museum has been contacted by a film company who is producing a
film
about the history of Las Vegas, along with a companion "coffee table"
book. They would like to photograph some of our atomic-related popular
culture artifacts for the book.

So, here's the question: do we charge for the use of the image? If so,
what are the going rates? We are a new museum and haven't yet set
policies
concerning these issues. Reality once again outstrips policy, no?

Thanks for all comments.
