At its latest meeting on 26 November 2021, the RHS Council elected 96 Fellows and 75 Members, a total of 171 people newly associated with the Society. We welcome them all.
The majority of the new Fellows hold academic appointments at universities, specialising in a very wide range of fields; but also include broadcasters, biographers, public historians, curators, publishers, journalists and editors. The Society is an international community of historians and our latest intake includes Fellows from Australia, Canada, Italy, Ireland, Malaysia, Montenegro, Turkey and the United States.
The new Members also have a wide variety of historical interests, including those employed in universities, and as heraldic scholars, archivists, museum staff and genealogists – together with independent and community historians. All those newly elected to the Fellowship and Membership bring a valuable range of expertise and experience that will help the Society to fulfil its objective of representing the diverse body of those engaged in historical scholarship.
November also saw a further 51 applications from historians who will now be invited to join the Society either as an Associate Fellow or a Postgraduate Member — two new membership categories introduced in late November. These changes to membership (about which you can read more here) will enable more historians to join the fellowship, and facilitate more focused support for RHS members at the start of their careers.
New Fellows and Members are elected at regular intervals through the year. The current application round is open and runs to Monday 10 January 2022. Further details on RHS Fellowship and Membership categories (Fellow, Associate Fellow, Postgraduate and Member), the benefits of membership, deadlines for applications in 2022, and how to apply, are available here.
