For over 50 years, the Society for Social History of Medicine has provided its members an international forum for developing and sharing field-shaping research, for connecting with colleagues across disciplinary boundaries and national borders, and for accessing key points of support (financial, advisory, collegiate) to develop careers, especially in their earliest stages. These benefits remain a core feature of Society membership, alongside the opportunity to become involved in shaping the Society’s current work and future directions.

Membership management is transitioning from our journal publisher to in-house. Renewals and new memberships for 2027 will be available from 2 November 2026. In the meantime if you require membership to apply for conference funding or bursaries please contact admin@sshm.org  

Once joined, you will be eligible for the full range of benefits.

We are grateful for the ongoing support of our members that make the Society what it is. Join today and become part of an open, inclusive, and dynamic community of scholars and partners working at the forefront of the field!
