Membership is open to academics, professionals, preservation advocates and interested laypeople who share the Society’s interest in history, architectural history, zcultural geography, historic archaeology and numerous other allied fields.

Memberships are for the calendar year (January 1 - December 31) and include five types: Individual ($50), Individual Student ($25), Institutional ($90), Lifetime ($450), and Couples ($70). Life memberships offer individuals an opportunity to contribute financially to the Society. A Couples membership includes one individual membership plus one significant other — only one copy of Material Culture will be mailed.

Join with us in documenting the mundane, profane and insane elements of culture.
