At its latest meeting on 24 September 2021, the RHS Council elected 123 Fellows, 87 Members and 71 Early Career Members, a total of 281 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 government historians, broadcasters, film-makers, creative writers, biographers, public historians, curators, publishers, journalists and editors, and academic librarians. The Society is an international community of historians and our latest intake includes Fellows from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, South Korea, and the United States.
The new Members also have a wide variety of historical interests, including those employed in universities, and as school teachers, archivists, museum staff, and education officers – 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.
New Fellows and Members are elected at regular intervals through the year. The current application round is open and runs to Monday 1 November 2021. Further details on RHS Fellowship and Membership categories, the benefits of membership, deadlines for applications in 2021, and how to apply, are available here.
