I'd like to second Tamsin that the sector's response should be a formal objection, led by ARA. Charging for onsite access is not a precedent I'd like to see, this set up seems to be both impractical for researchers (not even getting a whole day) as well as excluding anyone on a lower income. I imagine very few record offices have the visitor figures which would allow them to fundraise effectively by charging for access - will they even break even with staff costs on a quiet day? As a sector, we really need to object to this strongly and I hope ARA will be visible in doing so.
