How to join the Socialist History Society

Socialist History is the journal of the Socialist History Society. Members receive two copies of the journal per year, all the pamphlets in the society’s ‘Occasional Publications’, and the society newsletter.

Revised SHS membership rates for 2023:

  • UK individual membership £30 (£25 concessionary)
  • European online-only membership £30
  • Rest of the world £40 (£35 concessionary)

Please note that new EU customs surcharges mean that the SHS can no longer offer subscriptions which involve sending printed material through the post to EU destinations. From 2022 all our European subscribers will be able to access the full content of Socialist History and our Occasional Publications via the Lawrence and Wishart website. UK subscriptions and subscriptions outside the EU area are unaffected by this change and remain exclusively print-based in 2022. From 2023 we expect to be able to offer all SHS members outside the EU a choice of print-based or online-only subscriptions.

We accept membership subscriptions online with PayPal, by post, or by bank transfer.
