We charge twice the amount the photo shop charges us. This helps defray 
the cost of delivering the photos to the shop and picking them up. The 
images remain in our hands at all times. Many photo shops are going out of 
business due to the digital revolution. We just had to find a new shop and 
I had to work out the new price as they charge a $3 scanning fee. Our new 
rates are $9 for one 5" x 7" copy, $6 for each copy of the same image 
thereafter; and $15 for one 8" x 10" copy, $12 for each copy of the same 
image thereafter (they cost us $3 and $6 respectively). We keep the CD 
with the digital images in our collection, but we will make them a copy if 
they provide us with a CD-R. The researcher may then reproduce the image(s)
in their work with the acknowledgment, "Photo courtesy of..."

Hope that helps,
