The copy may be made in writing, or by a suitable photographic process. The state archivist shall charge and collect for copies the fees allowed by law to the official in whose office the document originates for certified copies. The state archivist shall charge a person requesting a search of census records for the purpose of determining genealogy the actual cost of performing the search.
