One question you should ask are the asking for exclusive rights?

"Exclusive rights" means that they are the only one that can use the 
photos. If they are then you can not sell even out takes. But being a 
historical organization they my only want "unrestricted rights" which 
means that they can do anything they want with the photos, but you can 
use them for non-competing purposes as well.

The thing is that all this needs to be negotiated, and put into writing 
before you do a bit of work on it. Newcomers to the photo business are 
always afraid of this step for some reason, but it is the only way both 
sides are going to know exactly what the other expects. Do it!
