<p> I am working on wages per hour because I want to minimize the costs
for you as much as possible. For me it is also a question of transparency
that I am not offering an all-inclusive price. Fees for archives, document
copies are fixed by the institutions I have to visit. I will charge
you only the original costs without adding any additions. Overnight
fees are of course flexible. </p>

<p>I develop an individual and detailed research plan for you which gives
an overview about the approximate costs you have to expect. This includes
a timetable for the research work and report writing. From the beginning
of the research work (after receiving your installment) to sending you
the final report with all the results, document copies (to be requested
before), receipts and the invoice I normally need between two to six
months.</p>

<p>After you agreed to the research plan with the estimated costs you
have to pay an installment of 30% of the total estimated costs. This
advance payment is necessary because of the expenses e.g. traveling
and overnight fees, archive fees. After having received this money I
will start work. After I have finished my research work in the archives,
I will immediately give you an overview about the main results. The
balance (70% of the total costs) you will have to settle only after
you have received the final report (including all document copies and
photographs you requested for) and the final invoice (including all
receipts).</p>
