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
