EXTRAS
Disbursements
Disbursements are additional for all products. These are service fees charged by government agencies to access or reproduce certain types of records. They will be billed at cost and do not typically exceed $75 for the Poster and Primer or $150 for the Scrapbook and Chronicle.​
​
Shipping
Shipping costs for the Primer are included in the quoted price. Shipping costs for the Scrapbook and Chronicle will be provided during the initial consultation.
​
Additional Copies
Our product costs are determined primarily by the extensive time required for research, writing and layout. The actual printing and binding process is only a small portion of the cost which means that additional copies can be provided for a modest charge.​
​
Custom House Illustration
A hand-drawn illustration of your home can be ordered for an additional $100. The price includes the original drawing on 5" x 7" card stock, suitable for framing. Choose between the house as it appears now or as it looked in days gone by.​
Larger sizes are also available, as are water colour versions. Please enquire for options and costs.
GROUP HISTORIES
Does community pride run deep on your block? Profiling multiple properties in one publication allows homeowners to share the cost of the history common to all houses. The more properties that are profiled, the greater the savings for each person. Contact us to find out more about a communal history for your neighbourhood!​​
GIFT CERTIFICATES
Many of our products are purchased as gifts for homeowners with an avid interest in their house's history. If you're looking to do the same but don't know which product is most appropriate, or you want to provide the homeowner with the opportunity to personally participate in the research process, then a gift certificate is the perfect solution. ​
​
Just like our products and services, our certificates are uniquely customized and include a historical illustration of the recipient's property along with the name of the giver. Printed in a 5" x 7" greeting card format.
​
Available in any denomination starting at $100.
