The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has revised its
schedule of fees for reproducing records. The new schedule can be found at
http://www.nara.gov/nar/cfr/cfr1258.html.
These increases were necessary because the cost for providing these records
to the public is not provided by Congress. Each request is a custom order
and thus complicated and expensive, requiring specialized staff for the
handling of fragile materials in addition to the costs of reproduction.
Also, in response to negative reaction to its proposed new practice of
offering the full military pension file for $40 rather than selecting
documents, NARA has now decided to offer the choice of either the entire
pension file for $37, or a packet of 8 important specific documents for
$14.75. Further information will be provided in the January/February edition
of the NGS Newsmagazine
