To our users:

Today the Archives Division filed an amendment to the Oregon
Administrative
Rules that revises the fees we charge. When you review these fees,
please
understand that none of these increases apply to those of you who come
to the
Archives Building to do your research.

In the past, our fees reflected our costs in supplies and equipment. Now
they
also include our staff costs. Because of the budget cuts the Archives
has
taken, we must recover some of our staff costs from the fees we charge.
We
determined these fees by careful study and analysis of the actual time
it takes
to perform the work, as well as costs in equipment, supplies and
postage.

Please direct your comments to me by e-mail at

or by
mail at Archives Building, 800 Summer St. NE, Salem, Oregon 97310. A
hearing on
these rule changes has been scheduled for 10 a.m., June 19, 2002, at the

Archives Building. Again, I regret that these measures are necessary and
I
thank you for your support and understanding.

State Archivist
