At its latest meeting on 15 September 2023, the RHS Council elected 69 Fellows, 45 Associate Fellows, 58 Members and 71 Postgraduate Members, a total of 243 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 eleven countries: Australia, China, Finland, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom, and 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 heritage, libraries and archives, teaching, and public and community history.
The new Members have a similarly wide range of historical interests, and include individuals working in universities, culture and heritage, education, the civil service and medicine – together with independent and community historians and genealogists.
Our new Postgraduate Members are studying for higher degrees in History, or related subjects, at 47 different universities in the UK, Canada, Greece, India, the Netherlands, 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 23 October 2023, with the future closing dates in 2024 to be announced shortly. 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.
