Membership

SAHANZ aims to promote the understanding and enjoyment of architectural history through scholarly discussion, criticism and debate. All who support the society’s goals are welcome to join. Members from all corners of the globe receive the society’s journal Fabrications, qualify for a discount fee to the annual mid-year conference and receive the Society’s monthly newsletter.

Types of membership

There are four membership categories:

  • Ordinary
  • Student
  • Honorary
  • Life

Honorary memberships acknowledge contribution to the field of architectural history in Australasia, while Life memberships acknowledge contribution to the discipline made by members of the Society. If you wish to nominate someone for Honorary or Life membership, please download the nomination documents here, and submit the completed nomination to the Society’s Secretary at secretary@sahanz.net.

Architectural practices and heritage consultancies are able to join at an Ordinary member rate. The practice receives a subscription to Fabrications and is able to nominate one staff member to attend the conference at a member rate.
