Erica, The Registrars Committee of the AAM has a Rights & Repro website - on it you will find the Isabella Stuart Gardner survey of charges. While done a few years ago, it is still in the general ball park and it has many other useful features. The URL is http://www.panix.com/~squigle/rarin/01rcsite.html Click on "Survey, Samples and Shortcuts", on the next page you will see the Isabella Stuart Gardner Survey - the answer to your dreams will be there! ;-) The entire website has lots of other useful tidbits - some of them rather major tidbits! Suzanne Quigley Chair, RARIN (rights & reproduction information network) >We're attempting to review and standardize all our fees and policies, and >there has been some debate about establishing use fees for our photo >colleciton. We decided to follow the lead of another local museum, which >charges a use fee and a small surcharge for reproduction costs. However, a >majority of our prints are requested by community members who want to use >the photo copies as decoration. Some of our board members feel that >charging a "use fee" would be insulting to these people, and want to charge >them a *much* higher surcharge instead. While the bottom line would be the >same, it would then appear that we are giving commercial enterprises a >price break on the surcharge. > >How do other museums decide costs for photo reprints? Would anyone be >willing to e-mail ro mail me a copy of their use and reproduction fee >schedules? Does anyone employ separate policies for private and public use? ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ museum-l.html.
