Research
Service:
The
staff (including trained volunteers) of the H. Furlong Baldwin Library
will undertake research for a fee for patrons who are unable to
visit the Library in person.
FEES
Fees are payable in advance. We accept checks or money orders. The charge for research is $40/hour for members of MdHS and $50/hour for non-members. We accept checks or money orders. The
minimum time is 1 hour; for more complicated requests, you might
want to start at 2 hours. If the staff is unable to finish the research
in the time allotted, you will be informed of where the research
stands at the end of the allotted time and asked if you wish to
pay for more research. Please also be aware that research is not
always successful. Despite diligent efforts by the staff, the information
you seek simply may not be available. No refunds will be made.
