Affordable Research Materials

In our current economic climate, most people think twice before spending money on materials for their historical or genealogical research.  We admit it: we do too.

However, we would like to point out some reasons why you can probably save  money by purchasing our genealogical and historical CD-ROMs.

• Our CDs are much cheaper than the same material is in book form -- if you can even locate it in book form.  Often our CDs are priced less than 20% of the retail price of the book -- and virtually all our CDs also contain supplementary material not found in the original book.

• Driving to a genealogical library (or even your local library) is an increasingly expensive proposition.  Did you know that, according to the IRS, the total cost (as of July 2008) of driving just one mile is more than 58 cents?  That's something to think about.  If the library is 20 miles away, the IRS says that it will cost you more than $23 to drive there and return!  For that, you can buy nearly any of our CDs, including shipping and handling, and still have money left over!  And with air fares rising rapidly, flying to a research facility will soon be out of the question for virtually everyone.

• We are maintaining our shipping and handling charge at $1.50 per order (not per CD-ROM).  We resist the temptation to offer our CDs at a low price and add exorbitant shipping and handling charges.  Sadly, many of our competitors have succumbed to this temptation. 

• We occasionally re-price our CD-ROM.  So far, all of our re-pricing activity has been to reduce our already low prices further.  Given these economic times, it's really the least we can do!

So, while we understand concerns about cost of research materials, we hope you understand better the value we offer.

The best of luck with your research from your friends at Between the Lakes Group!!
