Dawn,

2 departments, out of 5, in the Museum, the Neuroanatomy and Human
developmental anatomy departments charge researchers who are usually
scientists with long-term research projects. They mostly house material
on glass slides which is usually desired for imaging.  The 3 other more
traditional (for us) departments - historical collections, anatomical
collections (ie bones and bottles) and archives do not charge.

Hope that's helpful.
