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.

 

Thanks,

Ben
