Research

At this stage, the Society is unfortunately not in a position for researchers to visit Bendigo and have access to its collection.

In response to a written request for information, the Society will attempt to provide such information or to refer the enquirer to a more appropriate source.

If the topic being researched is something that the Society feels that it can respond to then it will reply with a quote estimate, based on a Research Rate of $25 per hour. No research (except an onward referral to another source) will be conducted without the advance payment as per the quote.
