Hi Joanne, I do some transcribing of Norwegian, Swedish & Danish into English for our archives. I do not get paid personally but the Archives charges $10.00 - 15 CND per page. Hope this helps a little bit. Angela Angela Smith Acting City Archivist City of Wetaskiwin Archives 4904 - 51 Street PO Box 6210 Wetaskiwin, AB T9A 2E9 phone: 780-361-4400 ext 429 fax: 780-361-4449 >>> "McKerchar, Joanne" <[log in to unmask]> 8/11/2009 8:23 AM >>> Dear All, I have been approached by someone who has offered to do some transcription work on behalf of the Archive but he would like to receive an hourly fee. As we have never employed anyone for this purpose, I am unsure what the 'going rate' for this type of service is. If anyone has experience in outsourcing this type of work I would be grateful if you could advise on a typical cost. Please reply direct to me off-list and I will be happy to summarise and post any responses I receive.
