Research Services

Photographs - $10.00 per image More than a century of Flint and Genesee County is represented in the Sloan Museum photograph collection. Local businesses, streets, and events are common requests. You may choose if you would like a high quality reproduction print of the image or a scanned image on CD. Printed images are scanned and reproduced on high gloss photo paper. Printed or digital, the cost is $10.00 per image. Multiple images may be put onto a CD, but the charge remains per image.

Research - We also provide genealogical and local history research services for those unable to visit the Sloan Museum. Extensive research incurs a rate of $15.00 for every half hour of research. Photocopies are 20¢ per page.
