Institutional Memberships

Institutional memberships provide history organizations of all sizes and shapes with resources, services, learning opportunities, and more. In addition to the many direct benefits of membership, Institutional members can add all their staff members, board members, and dedicated volunteers to the membership account, giving them access to most benefits of membership. Institutional memberships dues are determined by the size of an institution’s operating budget. To determine your dues level, consult the table below. To join, please see bottom of page.
