TOPIC: Museum Library & Archives entrance/admission fees Among the components of the Glenbow Museum in Calgary is the Library and Archives which are curatorial and research collections for staff supporting the collections of the Museum. The Library and Archives are on one floor and fully open to the public although material has to be used on the premises. The Glenbow is neither a fully public nor a private institution, receiving government funding, but also raising funds through grants from individuals, companies, etc. The Museum also charges an admission fee but the Library and Archives does not. On the direction of our administration we are currently exploring the philosophy and practice of charging admission to the museum floors but not to the Library and Archives, and wonder about the situation in other comparable facilities. If anyone has any experience, comments or thoughts about the issue of charging admission fees to a special Library could you please Email them to me at [log in to unmask] Thanks for any information provided.
