MCHS Services

Research Requests:
Research can be done by MCHS for $15.00 an hour for the first hour and $10.00 for each additional hour. Research is done on a variety of things from basic information, obituaries, Sentinel Articles, pictures, etc. A charge lesser than $15.00 may be charged, when determined by staff, for minimal requests when obituary dates or other pertinent information is provided. While we encourage as many people as possible to come and dive into our resources themselves (which is free of charge!) we are happy to do what we can to meet your research needs. Call or email MCHS and we’ll see if we are able to help you out!

Pictures:
Pictures can be sent a variety of ways for different costs:
Emailing a picture will cost $2.00 per image. Emailing more than 5 images will include the hourly research rate.

Scanning and printing copies will cost $8.00 for a quality color photo and $5.00 for a quality black and white photo. Copies printed from our computers onto plain printer paper also cost $8.00 for a color copy and $5.00 for a black and white copy. Placing scanned images on a CD will cost $5.00 for the CD and case plus $2.00 per image. There are several affordable choices to meet your historic photo needs!

Picture requests may include the hourly rate depending on how easily the pictures can be accessed*

Copies:
If you come down to do research use of all MCHS resources are free! The only charge is for copies that are made; the cost is 25 cents per copy.
