<div dir="ltr">Hi Lee,<div><br>We conduct research requests on a by-donation basis, although I don't believe the policy is heavily enforced. I would definitely look into establishing a fee for developers and professional consultants. We have not had many requests from similar folks, although the last time we provided a developer with photos from our archives for use in a new project, we had a very difficult time contacting them in order to take a photo of the finished product for our own records. In the end we gave up trying to get back in touch with them. This has left us a little wary about working with developers for free. Perhaps a fee and a contract of some sort would be helpful...?</div><div><br></div><div>I hope this helps!</div><div><br></div><div>Cass Sclauzero, Administrative Assistant</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif"><div name="divtagdefaultwrapper" style="font-family:calibri,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;margin:0px"><div style="font-family:tahoma;font-size:10pt"><div style="font-size:10pt"><div style="font-size:10pt"><font size="3" color="339966"><font size="3" face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" color="#333333"><span style="font-size:12pt"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><div><font size="2"><span style="font-size:16px"><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><font color="teal"><b>The Port Coquitlam Heritage and Cultural Society</b></font></div></span></font></div></font></font></span></font></font></div></div></div></div></div><span style="color:gray;font-size:16px;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">150 - 2248 McAllister Ave</span><br><span style="color:gray;font-size:16px;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Port Coquitlam BC V3C 2A5</span><br><font color="gray" style="font-size:16px;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">604-927-8403| <a href="mailto:info@pocoheritage.org" target="_blank">info@pocoheritage.org</a></font><font color="gray" style="font-size:16px;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">|</font><font color="gray" style="font-size:16px;font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(17,85,204)"><a href="http://www.pocoheritage.org" target="_blank">www.pocoheritage.org</a><br></font><br><img src="http://www.pocoheritage.org/images/poco_heritage_logo.gif"><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
