At its latest meeting on 2 December 2022, the RHS Council elected 102 Fellows, 49 Associate Fellows, 64 Members and 93 Postgraduate Members, a total of 308 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 curators, teachers, broadcasters, film-makers, heritage consultants, independent researchers and writers. The Society is an international community of historians and our latest intake includes Fellows from 12 countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, the UK and United States.
Our latest intake includes a number of historians working outside History departments, in cognate disciplines in higher education: a reminder that the Fellowship is open to all whose research provides a scholarly contribution to historical knowledge.
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, archives, museums and teaching.
The new Members have a similarly wide range of historical interests, and include individuals employed in universities, and as archaeologists, archivists, civil servants, conservators and surveyors, lawyers and members of the judiciary, and teachers – together with independent and community historians. Our new Postgraduate Members are studying for higher degrees in History, or related subjects, at 38 different universities in the UK, India and the United States. All those newly elected to the Fellowship and Membership bring a valuable range of expertise and experience to the Society.
December 2022 sees the admission of our sixth 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 Friday 13 January 2023, with the next closing date being Monday 10 April 2023. Further details on RHS Fellowship and Membership categories (Fellow, Associate Fellow, Member and Postgraduate Member); benefits of membership (including new benefits added from August 2022); deadlines for applications throughout 2023; and how to apply, are available here.
