Search fees 
Standard searches: (up to 15 working days)  
Free 
 
Complex searches: Enquiries which seek information about three or more sites, require 
extensive searches of uncatalogued material, or request detailed summary of records’ 
contents.  
         Non-commercial 
£20.00 per half hour 
         Commercial 
£35.00 per half hour 
Max. 3 hours (N.B.: Charges still apply in cases where searches are unsuccessful) 
 
Please note that we will only undertake research within the holdings of the NMRW site 
database and archive and RCAHMW library, although we may signpost to other record 
holding institutions as appropriate. We may decline any complex enquiry which is 
reasonably beyond out capacity to deliver. If you require the services of an independent 
researcher, the National Library of Wales maintains a list of such providers, here: 
(https://www.library.wales/catalogues-searching/help-to-search/family-history-
help/independent-researchers) 
 
Aerial Photography Searches: charged at the same rate as complex enquiries. You will be 
sent a list of your search results. 
        Basic Search (Indicates whether an aerial photograph was taken but not its medium or 
        availability, suitable for arranging a visit to view images in the Search Room)  
        Full Search (Indicates whether we hold physical or digital copies of each photograph, 
        suitable for ordering scans or copies of images) 
As an indicator, a basic search for a single site within a defined timeframe will usually take 
0.5–1 hour, with an additional 0.5–1 hour for a full search (charged at the same rate as a 
complex enquiry). Larger or more complex searches may require more time. We will advise 
you of the cost prior to proceeding with your search. 
 
Priority search service (up to five working days)           
£75.00 
 
Payment for a priority search must be received prior to the searches being initiated and 
must be paid for, even when no search results are found. N.B. This service is subject to 
availability.

Dataset Requests: Basic National Monuments Record of Wales site data is freely available 
to download under the Open Government Licence from Coflein, Historic Wales and 
DataMap Wales. This includes both terrestrial and maritime data, and the data include 
links to the long-text descriptions (where available). If you are experiencing difficulty in 
locating, downloading, or searching this data, our Enquiries team will endeavour to offer 
appropriate guidance. 
 
 
Copying services (per copy) 
We will waive fees for small orders (i.e. up to 5 low-resolution photocopier scans or 
photographs taken by staff, for personal use only. N.B. This does not apply to existing digital 
images). 
 
Photocopies: up to A3 
£1.50 per copy 
Low-resolution photocopier scans or photographs taken by staff 
£1.00 per scan/photo 
 
Large orders will incur a surcharge of £15 for every 25 scans required.

          Existing digital image (Maximum file size JPEG)

          New scan (Maximum file size JPEG) 
£20.00  
 
Please note that all professional digitisation is undertaken by the National Library of Wales. 
The provision of this service is therefore dependent on their service provision, policies, and 
charges. 
 
N.B. Documents will not be copied if the item is too large, if it is in a fragile condition, or if 
copyright restrictions apply. 
 
Many of our existing digital images can be purchased and licenced directly through our 
online system: https://rcahmw.ibase.media/en/home

Virtual visits and one-to-one consultations via Microsoft Teams 
Virtual Visit: If you are unable to visit our Library and Search Room in person, we offer free 
‘virtual visits’. During these virtual visits you will be able briefly to view documents and 
records from the NMRW archive so that you can identify any documents of which you 
would like to order scans or copies, or determine if a full, in person visit to our Search Room 
is necessary. 
20 minute virtual visit 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Free 
 
Online Consultation: If you require a bit more assistance and discussion, you can book an 
online one-to-one consultation with a member of staff. During these sessions we are happy 
to discuss your research with you and recommend sources from our library and archive, 
show you documents from the NMRW related to your research and provide guidance on 
where to go next.  
40 minute one-to-one consultation with a member of staff 
 
£25 
 
N.B. We are unable to undertake research of documents on your behalf or read out lengthy 
passages from them via the virtual consultation. If you would like to commission a search or 
require this sort of detail, please contact us.  
 
Due to the time available, we will only be able to show you a limited number of documents. 
They will not be held up or handled in any way that may cause damage. 
 
Documents must be ordered in advance and cannot be retrieved during the session. 
 
Sessions may be booked every Monday or Friday.

Group visits 
We welcome group visits to the Library and Search Room, by prior arrangement. These 
typically last between one and two hours and are tailored to the interests of the 
group.  However, a visit usually consists of talks, a display of archive material and a tour of 
our archive strongrooms. 
                         
We also provide virtual group visits and talks, which can be tailored to an individual group’s 
interests.  
 
We welcome visits from primary and secondary schools, universities, youth groups, local 
and family history groups, specialist interest groups, civic societies and professional 
bodies.  We can host sessions through the medium of English or Welsh. 
 
Free, but subject to availability. Please contact us to discuss.
