The curation fee for long-term storage and care is $250.00 per cubic foot or fraction thereof. Fees for artifacts and record collections are computed separately. For example, 5.7 cubic feet of specimens accompanied by 2.2 cubic feet of records would be charged as 6 cubic feet of specimens and 2 cubic feet of records. Oversized objects which will not fit into a 15x12x10 inch box will be billed on the basis of the amount of shelf space required for their storage at a rate of $250.00 per linear foot. There is an additional $50.00 charge per box for re-boxing collection in MDAH curation boxes.
All contracts will be re-negotiated after a 5 year period.
