NRS 378.270 enables the Nevada State Library and Archives to charge fees for records search and photocopies. Because the Archives has few staff members, it is necessary to charge a research fee for searching archival records. In addition, the Nevada State Library and Archives does not charge the VA for research in service records. There is no charge for reference questions about collections, review of records inventories or searches on computer indexes. A reference question is one that can be answered by looking into the written or computerized inventories or reference to any of the published reference works including the Nevada Revised Statutes, Statutes of Nevada or the bound Legislative Bill books.
State agencies receive one hour of free research.
There is no charge for staff assistance or retrieval of records to those patrons using the records on the premises. Because portions of Governors' records are confidential by NRS 378.290, research fees will be charged for staff review and the deletion of confidential information. Photocopies of inventory pages are subject to the copying fees. Photographs are reproduced under agreement with the Nevada Historical Society and private venders. Please allow two weeks for reproductions of photographs.
