Beaverhead County Museum research, photo, and reproduction fees:

RESEARCH HOURS: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 1 pm to 4 pm
 

Please call or email to make arrangements to do research.

​

The Beaverhead County Museum has one of the largest historical archives in Southwestern Montana. It is run by museum staff and volunteers and limited operating funds from Friends of the Museum. Because we are committed to maintaining this resource and making it available to the public, we have fees to help offset the cost, as well as policies in place to protect the resources.

Please note, fees are waived if you belong to Friends of the Museum. Fees for non-profit groups and government agencies receive reduced rates for archives research. Please support the museum and Friends of the Museum.

​

PLEASE NOTE: Some documents and other information from our collections will not be copied, due to fragility issues and/or copyright restrictions.
