We also have seen an increase in requests. Our policy is that we will
waive the use fee for non-profits but they still have to pay for the
scan or production fee. On a need to do basis if there is a really
large order then our archivist/curator can work out a compromise or a
package fee for a group.

Our photo use policy has two different pricing arrangements. For
non-profit use (ie. Educational books, research papers, etc., where the
final product is not being produced for profit) we do not charge a fee.
For other uses we do charge a one time use fee. This seems to have
worked well for us.

Over the last eight years our request for reproductions, copies, pdf
files, etc have also increased. I would also be interested in what the
list has to say. We do waive for small (new groups) when possible but
sometimes even those who can pay just don't want to.

Dear List,
Our historical society receives a fairly substantial number of
photographic reproduction requests from all sorts of patrons
(individuals, for-profit entities, and non-profit entities). I have
been getting an increasing amount of requests from every demographic for
a discount or to waive our fees for reproduction and usage altogether.
Some causes are certainly more worthy than others but I want to be fair
to everyone. I certainly want to help one and all but our organization
is a private non-profit, run by a small staff, and dependent on the
income these fees generate.
I am curious as to how other organizations handle such requests. I
would certainly be appreciative for any thoughts anyone would like to
share. This is a link to our website where we posted information about
regulations and fees: http://www.achs-pa.org/visit/rules.htm.
