Research Costs & Requests

Inquiries may also be submitted via email, mail, or phone. We request a donation in advance for a minimum of 1 hour of research at a recommended rate of $10 (members) or $25 (non-members). After the first hour, you will be notified if additional time is required. PHS staff will spend a maximum of three hours per request at an hourly recommended donation of $10 (members) or $25 (non-members). If more than three hours is required, a staff person will contact you to discuss options for completing your research.
