Archives staff will search indexed records and books for a maximum of thirty minutes per request. After this initial thirty minutes, a fee of $40 per hour is due before research material is provided to the patron. Due to the limited number of staff, the Archives cannot: search records that are readily available from other sources (such as census records); conduct detailed genealogical searches; summarize, interpret, or transcribe documents; or provide a list of records for all persons bearing a particular surname. If such research is needed, researchers should plan to visit the Archives in person or make arrangements with a private researcher.	Information Technology Staff Time	$30.00/hr
