I assume you have seen the HEDS study, funded by the Mellon at
http://heds.herts.ac.uk/mellon/charging_models.html
This is mainly about digital images, but does give a useful pointer

Subject: Museums and image library tariffs
I am looking for prices (and policies) from museums and heritage
organisations which provide images for publication (as opposed to
private use!). Can anyone provide any comparitors? I am aware that
commercial picture libraries do charge quite a lot, but it would be
useful to find out what museums charge, if they manage their image IPR
commercially!
The reason I am requesting this information is to compare our
publication charging policy with similar museum image libraries. I am
involved in managing a countywide archive and museum image database (low
res images are available at no cost) which has images of a wide range of
collections (mainly of local and sub-regional interest - not many
Rembrandt's are available unfortunately). It has been comparatively
easy to establish personal image sales (for high res images) but setting
a reasonable publications charging tariff has been a little more
difficult.
Any pointers?
