If distance or scheduling conflicts don't allow you to come to the Center for Archival Collections yourself, or if you prefer your computer to your telephone, we can still try to help you find the answer to your question. This service is for everyone!

Patrons requesting general information about the CAC's manuscripts, newspapers, and other holdings can contact us by electronic mail. Requests for our search service must include the name of the individual to be searched for, the type and location of record, and the dates to be searched. Queries which lack this data will be delayed. Please include your full name and postal address, as well as your e-mail address in the body of the message. All electronic requests will be acknowledged through e-mail, but then completed through the U.S. Postal Service.

Beginning March 1, 2007, the minimum service fee is $25.00 per hour for a maximum of two hours. This includes up to four copies free of charge. Thereafter, the cost of photocopies is an additional $.25 per page. Inquiries requiring more than two hours of staff time must be negotiated in advance. DO NOT SEND PAYMENT WITH INQUIRY. Patrons will be invoiced for search time, additional photocopies, postage/handling, and 6.5% sales tax (Ohio residents only) prior to receipt of material. Please note that many of the Center's original materials may not be photocopied or reproduced because of their fragility.

For local government records ONLY: If the patron has a correct, exact citation for a record (county, office, record group, volume, and page number), staff will copy up to four (4) pages per request at a cost of $5.00, which includes postage and handling. If the patron does not have an exact citation, OR if the citation given is incorrect, the $25.00 per hour fee structure will be in effect. Note: Obituaries, manuscripts and books are not  local government records.

Please allow up to 30 days for a response to your inquiry. Do not send payment. We will send an invoice.

Remember: Please include your full name and postal address as well as your e-mail address in the body of the message!

Send your reference questions to Ask an Archivist or to Lee McLaird, Reference Archivist.
