Broome County library charges for research

Research and Membership




Research:

We provide research services for written or telephoned inquiries. Please bear in mind that our staff is small, and most are unpaid volunteers. We do not search for data beyond our premises.


If you would like to request library research, please be aware that there is a $10.00 minimum fee, payable in advance. This entitles the requestor to one hour's research. $5.00 will be charged per additional hour. To keep expenses down a maximum time limit may be set, e.g. two hours, or $15.00. In addition, we charge .25 cents per standard 8 1/2 x 11 inch photocopy.


We also urge that inquiries be as specific as possible. The requestor should supply information already known and sources already checked in order to avoid repetition.


Should you wish to pursue this research please remit the $10.00 minimum fee and make the check payable to the: Broome County Historical Society, 185 Court St., Binghamton, NY, 13901. Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope.


Send any e-mail inquiries to the Local History/Genealogy Center: localhistory@bclibrary.info. The same fee for research applies to e-mail inquiries. Inquiries will be handled once all monies have been forwarded. Please make the check out to:

Broome County Public Library
185 Court St.
Binghamton, NY 13901



For all other inquiries please contact us by telephone at 607-778-3572 or 607-778-2076.
