Paige, and anyone else trying to work out User Fees-- Have you contacted the New England Historic Genealogical Society at 101 Newbury St. in Boston 02116? Their user fees were well established when I started work there in 1979, and I know they have worked on keeping the structure current to try to meet their needs without pricing researchers completely out of the market since then. They are a membership organization, but it was possible to pay a daily fee to research on-site when I was there (but that was a decade ago). Call me if you want to talk about it. --Julia Hunter, Manager, CRIC (207) 287-5794 [log in to unmask]
