Research Requests

RHS is moving to fee-based research requests and research appointments.   Starting in mid-October, Docents and staff should send patrons requesting research or research appointments a one-pager document and a link to the appropriate form.  This is so the requestor can submit the request themselves and so that they are aware of the notices and fees.

Research one-pagers

Please send patrons one of the following documents as a link or attachment for further explanation:

• House History Research one-pager-
