The AAH recognizes four categories of membership: Regular, Associate, Life, and Institutional.
Members in the Regular, Associate, and Life categories may attend meetings, present papers at the Annual Meeting and at the AAH and Mommsen Society annual lecture series, nominate themselves and others for different positions within the Association, hold office and appointment to different committees, submit proposals, attend and vote at the annual business meeting, and otherwise participate fully in the life and governance of the AAH.
What Your Membership Supports
Membership dues directly support the core activities and mission of the AAH, including:
• A scholarly and professional support network, particularly for early- and mid-career scholars.
• Co-hosting the AAH Annual Meeting, including associated organizational and operational expenses.
• Creation and electronic dissemination of the AAH Newsletter, published three times per year.
• Production and dissemination of the Publications of the AAH (PAAH) series. Information on the availability of back volumes—many offered as free PDF downloads—and other monographs is available on the AAH website.
• Periodic email announcements of professional interest to ancient historians, including job postings, calls for papers, and conference announcements. (Members may opt out of these communications by contacting the Secretary.)
• Free online pedagogical and professional-development workshops, offered at several points throughout the year (e.g. Committee for Teaching workshops, the AAH-Mommsen Society annual lectures, etc.).
• Financial support for graduate students and junior scholars through AAH travel and publication subvention programs.
• Mentorship initiatives serving graduate students and colleagues at various career stages.
• Awards recognizing outstanding mentorship and distinguished service to the field and the Association.
