Prices

How the scope and cost are determined

The scope of the research depends on the availability and condition of the sources, as well as the complexity of the research question. For this reason, it is not possible to provide a fixed total price in advance; however, the work is carried out within a clearly agreed timeframe.

Archival research

The work is carried out on an hourly basis: €20 per hour.

The hourly rate does not change during the work; instead, the total scope may vary depending on the complexity of the research topic and the availability of sources. In many cases, it is possible to gain an initial overview and identify key information within approximately five hours, if the sources are well preserved and accessible. More complex topics or incomplete sources may require additional time.

The scope of the work is agreed upon before the research begins, and if necessary, the work continues in stages so that you have a clear overview of both costs and results.

Design and layout

The scope of design and layout depends on the length of the text, the amount of visual material, and the desired format. The price is determined according to the scope of the work and agreed upon before the process begins.

Full service

For full-service projects, the price is based on the combined scope of archival research and design. The work is divided into stages, and the scope and content of each stage are agreed upon separately to ensure that the result is well considered and meets your expectations.

How to get started

If you have a question or a topic you would like to explore, please describe it briefly. Based on this, it is possible to provide an initial estimate of the scope of the work and the likely time required.
