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 2025:

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

Please note that new EU customs surcharges mean that printed materials sent from the UK to EU states may be subject to random duties payable by the recipient. The SHS cannot accept responsibility for any such charges. We are keeping our overseas subscriptions under review, with regard both to surcharges, and to the ongoing disintegration of international postal services which mean that some destinations can now only be reliably reached by private courier services.

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