At its latest meeting on 6 May 2022, the RHS Council elected 119 Fellows, 82 Associate Fellows, 61 Members and 72 Postgraduate Members, a total of 334 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 journalists, teachers, lawyers, archivists and archaeologists. The Society is an international community of historians and our latest intake includes Fellows from Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Ukraine and the United States.
The new Associate Fellows include not only early career historians in higher education but also historians with professional and private research interests drawn from broadcasting, digital humanities, teaching, archives, museums, galleries, heritage and journalism.
The new Members have a similarly wide range of historical interests, and include individuals employed in universities, and as curators, teachers, physicians, surgeons and local government officers – together with independent and community historians. Our new Postgraduate Members are studying for higher degrees in History, or related subjects, at 42 different universities in the UK, Belgium, India, Ireland, Germany, New Zealand and the United States. All those newly elected to the Fellowship and Membership bring a valuable range of expertise and experience to the Society.
May 2022 sees the admission of our third set of Associate Fellows and Postgraduate Members — two new membership categories introduced in late 2021. These changes to membership (about which you can read more here) 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 6 June 2022, with the next closing date being Monday 22 August 2022. Further details on RHS Fellowship and Membership categories (Fellow, Associate Fellow, Member and Postgraduate Member), the benefits of membership, deadlines for applications throughout 2022, and how to apply, are available here.
