At its latest meeting on 5 July 2023, the RHS Council elected 39 Fellows, 23 Associate Fellows, 29 Members and 63 Postgraduate Members, a total of 154 people newly associated with the Society, from today.
The majority of the new Fellows hold academic appointments at universities, specialising in a very wide range of fields; but also include museum curators, archivists, heritage consultants, and independent researchers and writers. The Society is an international community of historians and our latest intake includes Fellows from ten countries: Belgium, China, Germany, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Ireland, Norway, United Kingdom, Turkey, 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 and journalism, conservation, libraries and archives, publishing, public and community history, and teaching.
The new Members have a similarly wide range of historical interests, and include individuals employed in universities, and as historical guides, museum managers, teachers, librarians and lawyers – together with independent and community historians. Our new Postgraduate Members are studying for higher degrees in History, or related subjects, at 36 different universities in the UK, France, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Turkey and the United States. All those newly elected to the Fellowship and Membership bring a valuable range of expertise and experience to the Society.
New Fellows and Members are elected at regular intervals through the year. The current application round is open and runs to 14 August 2023, with the next closing date after this being 23 October 2023. Further details on RHS Fellowship and Membership categories (Fellow, Associate Fellow, Member and Postgraduate Member); benefits of membership; deadlines for applications throughout 2023; and how to apply, are available here.
