- NARA Publishes New Reproduction Fee Schedule
The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration released
proposed new fees some time ago that soon became controversial.
Some of the fees seemed rather high. Now the agency has finalized
the new fees by publishing its "final rule," NARA Reproduction Fee
Schedule, in the October 13, 2000, Federal Register at page 60862.
The revised fees go into effect on November 13.
The new fees are not cheap:
* A copy of Passenger Arrival lists (NATF Form 81): $17.25
* Federal Census requests (NATF Form 82): $17.50
* Military service files more than 75 years old (NATF Form 86)
But the real zinger is the cost of a copy of complete pension file
that is more than 75 years old (NATF Form 85): $37.00!

FamilySearch.org Updated
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) has
unveiled a "new look" at its
FamilySearch.org website. The updated
site has had a complete makeover that should improve ease of use.
As part of the new website, the Church has also announced that new
databases are about to go online, including the Vital Records
Indexes for North America, the United Kingdom, and for Western
Europe. They also have announced the release of a new Resource
File Viewer 3.0 to read the CD-ROM version of these databases.
This viewer allows users to view immigration records in addition
to vital records and census records. An advanced word search is
available for census records and for the journal accounts of
immigration records. Look at:
