Research Questions
Free Services
Registered users may search our Internet catalogue and examine
images free of charge. Simple queries that are emailed and
take less than 5 minutes to answer will be handled as rapidly
as possible, although we cannot guarantee to respond within
a few days. In addition visitors who make an appointment will
be able to inspect originals, browse our library and use our
catalogue at our Research Room in Reading.
Research Fees
The Internet catalogue contains powerful research tools and
may be used free of charge to handle simple and complex queries.
If a researcher requires one of our volunteers to do research
a fee may be payable, whether or not a positive result is
found.
If a request is likely to require more than 5 minutes research,
then a sliding scale of fees will be applied. The researcher
should request an amount of time from the table below, wait
until the request is acknowledged and the fee confirmed and
then make the payment before work is started. Cheques drawn
on British banks must be made payable to “The Mills
Archive Trust”
