The Construction History Society is the society for all those who are enthusiastic about any aspect of the history of construction. Our members come from all walks of life. You might be someone who has an interesting story to tell, someone who collects items to do with buildings or an academic who works on the history of buildings. We encourage people to take an interest in how the world around them has been built and those that built it.
The Construction History Society is an international organisation and has members from all parts of the world. We cover Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Prospective members in the Americas are invited to join our American affiliated organisation, the Construction History Society of America, which includes subscription to our journal.
The annual UK subscription is just £35.00 (GBP) and is renewable on the 1 January each year.
Students and those under 25 may join for a reduced rate of just £20 a year.
Lock in the current membership rate and pay up to 5 years membership now.
