Dear Prospective SHA Member,

Thank you for Joining the SHA and ACUA community. The SHA Board understands that 2026 has been a tumultuous year for our profession.  Therefore, we have decided not to raise membership rates for 2027.

We will need to adjust for our rising operating costs and our increased advocacy by raising the membership rates in 2028.  However, you can lock in the current pricing by renewing early.

 Your Renewal Options

  • Pay for 2027 and 2028 now
    • Lock in today’s rate for both years.
    • Avoid the 2028 price increase.
  • Wait and pay standard yearly rates
    • Pay the 2027 rate next year.
    • Pay the higher adjusted rate in 2028.

All memberships in The Society for Historical Archaeology are for the calendar year (January 1 -December 31).

Historical Archaeology and the SHA Newsletter are issued quarterly, in March, June, October, and December.  If you join after the start of the membership year, you will receive all issues of the Journal issued to date for that year.  Applications received after September 30 will be assigned to membership for the next calendar year, unless otherwise requested.
