Membership Types


Individual Memberships

In addition to our general membership categories, OAH offers several special categories for students, early career professionals, and those who work in non-tenure track or contingent positions, including recently added categories for undergraduate and high school students as well as a Sustaining Member category for those who want to support the work of the OAH at a higher level.


Sponsored Memberships

Sponsored memberships are a great way to introduce students and recent graduates not yet working full time to the benefits of a professional organization. Current members can either sponsor a specific individual or contribute to our Sponsored Membership Award Fund.


Institutional Memberships

OAH now offers two types of Institutional Memberships: History Organizations and Small Departments. Institutional Membership Benefits differ slightly from Individual Member Benefits. Please refer to the Membership Benefits page.
