Dear all,
A couple of weeks ago I asked whether colleagues would be willing to share information on fees for a freelance cataloguer.
Thank you very much to everyone who got back to me – it’s much appreciated! For those who also asked for the information to be shared, here is a collation of the results:
The hourly rates ranged between £18 and £23, assuming a 7-8 hour day.
Daily rates were broadly in line with this – between £150 and £200, with one response of up to £400 a day.
There was good advice as well – such as testing to see how long it would take a person unfamiliar with the collection to work through a series of items, remembering that no-one works solidly for 7-8 hours so this will impact on the actual time taken to complete the work and providing detailed cataloguing procedures and vocab to ensure that the style remains consistent.
Best wishes,
Rachel
