Research Request Policies and Procedures for
Williamson County Historical Museum
At this time, WCHM cannot accommodate
on-site research requests. However, a fee-based collections research
service is available. Fees are calculated at the hourly rate of
$35.00 per hour charged by the half hour after an initial
free 30 minutes. Photocopies are 20 cents per sheet.
Requests for information should be as specific as possible. Museum
staff will make a search of the holdings in response to inquiries.
Response time depends on the complexity of the subject matter. Routine
research inquiries and photocopy requests will normally be completed
within 2 weeks. For other requests, the Museum staff will provide an
estimate of the research time needed. This estimate is subject to
revision.
Any person or entity requesting research services will hold harmless
the Williamson County Historical Museum, staff, and volunteers from any
legal claims or damages arising from or out of any information provided
as a result of the Museum’s research service.
The WCHM makes no warranties or guarantees either expressed or implied
concerning the accuracy or authenticity of information from current
books, periodicals, magazines, or other source material, which is
allegedly based on historical research; or the accuracy of information
as published in original journals, magazines, catalogs, or other source
material used to supply the requested information.
Payment
We accept check, money order, or credit
card for the exact amount, which must be prepaid before materials are
shipped. Make payable to “Williamson County Historical Museum.”
