Board member, Mr. Kepa Maly, suggested our customers would like to know how we arrived at our pricing structure and what was involved in creating the first Waihona Aina database, The Mahele database, and we hope you find it interesting, informative and reassuring.
At the time we organized, the only precedent for on-line document databases, was the nationally known law service that provides documents on line to attorneys, at much higher prices than we envisioned for our customers. Although the professional marketing advice we got suggested we charge much more, we finally decided that a reasonable rate would be an amount less than it would take an individual to go to the archives, park and pay for parking, spend a minimum hour of research time and costs for xeroxing 1 record (of 3 or 4 or more documents). The cost of transportation, lodging and meals when you come from off-island or the mainland to access these records is not factored into the price.
