I very much agree with Joel that archival charging of use fees is
problematic.  A further aspect of this is that an institution charging use
fees for an image whose rights it does not possess strikes me as a lawsuit
waiting to happen.   It is one thing to charge for reproducing an image as
that is a technical matter.  It is very different to make money off of an
image via use fees when the rights to that image belong to someone else.
