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

Costs for topics being researched are:
One name single event lookup - $10.00 for a written report
Research requiring about one hour - $40.00 for search and for a written report
Photographs - $10.00 per photograph copied to disc; plus $2.00 P&H

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 $40 per hour. No research (except an onward referral to another source) will be conducted without the advance payment as per the quote.
