In November 2021, the RHS introduced two additional membership categories — Associate Fellowship and Postgraduate Membership — creating new ways to join the RHS and its international community of 4500 historians. We’re delighted that the first sets of Associate Fellows and Postgraduate Members have now been elected to the RHS. We welcome them all to the Society.
Associate Fellowship recognises individuals within Higher Education who’ve made a notable contribution to historical knowledge (for example, with a completed PhD thesis or first set of articles) but have not (yet) reached the level required for election to the Fellowship.
Associate Fellowship also recognises those active in sectors other than HE—including heritage, conservation, libraries and archives, teaching, publishing, broadcasting, and community and public history—whose contribution to history is equally significant but previously was not adequately recognised within the Society’s Fellowship structure.
The Society’s second new category of Postgraduate Membership is open to all those currently enrolled for a further degree (MA and above) in history or a related discipline, in the UK or overseas, and for the duration of the university course, plus one year.
The next application round to join the RHS (as a Fellow, Associate Fellow, Member or Postgraduate) closes on Monday 10 January 2022. Further details of the categories and how to apply are available here.
