Pontiac Archives

Do you charge for research services?

We do not charge clients any fee whatsoever if they are conducting research in person. But if a client e-mails, telephones or writes to us with an inquiry, we charge $20 per hour after a preliminary search (approximately half an hour), which is free of charge.

If a client is in the Archives, starts a search and is unable to finish his or her research, we can complete it on their behalf, but at the $20 per hour rate. The client will be advised beforehand of the approximate total fee.

We always encourage donations if clients wish to show their appreciation for our efforts, but we do not solicit funds.
