Thanks Angie -
I should probably clarify my request for info - I'm looking for
statistical information about museums charging fees for access to their
on-line, digital collections, and specifically, if they are generating
any significant revenue. I don't think there's much information out
there. This would include access to images and information, and not just
image sales.
I did some searching on the internet, and found a few interesting
articles, but nothing really concrete with charts and graphs. I need
charts and graphs unfortunately.
Anyone got charts and graphs?
:)
Allison

Hi Allison,
We have charged fees for images over the years. We have a request form
with fee schedule we send out whenever anyone asks for images. We
generally waive the fee for other museums. I'd be happy to send you our
form to your work email if you'd like.
Thanks,

Subject: Fee-based access to your digital collection
Hello all -
Are there any museums out there charging fees to access their digital
collection information/images? I'm looking for available statistics
about the success of generating revenue for the museum in this manner.
I'm also interested in learning about institutions which considered this
idea, but rejected it, and why.
I would be very interested in touching base with anyone who knows of, or
has been part of such a project and discussing this subject.
Thanks so much,
Allison Smith
