Membership

The individual membership for ISCH is valid for one/three/five calendar year(s), depending on the option chosen below. It includes two online issues of the bi-annual Cultural History journal, and the possibility to join the annual gathering (which, nonetheless, requires an additional conference fee). In addition, members are entitled to a discount on all EUP books and journal subscriptions, and to other discounts occasionally offered by other publishers.

Institutions can also become members. For further information about institutional membership, please contact the secretary.

Individual Membership Prices:

The 2025 individual membership fee is 50 Euro (waged scholars) or 30 Euro (unwaged scholars). The 3-year discounted membership for 2025-2027 is 135 € (waged) or 81 € (unwaged). The 5-year discounted membership for 2025-2029 is 220 € (only available to waged scholars). All memberships are e-journal only since the journal became fully online in 2022.

It is possible to pay the membership fee online with a credit/debit card, via PayPal, or with a bank transfer.

Bank transfer:

New and returning members from the Euro area are encouraged to pay their membership fee with a bank transfer directly into the Society’s bank account because this method does not create additional fees for us. (Note that the Society’s bank account changed in September 2024 and the old account number with Handelsbanken will not work any longer.) The payment details are:

Recipient: International Society for Cultural History
Bank name: Oma Säästöpankki
BIC code: ITELFIHH
Account number: FI6841080013045367

Please use your name and email address as the reference and send the same details to the secretary at isch@culthist.net in order to receive access to the journal without delay.

PayPal payment

When using PayPal, you may see that the receiver of the payment is “Kulttuurihistorian seura ry” instead of the ISCH. That is alright, it is the Finnish daughter organization of ISCH to whom the PayPal account is registered. Unless you give the secretary (isch@culthist.net) another email address, we will use the email address connected with your PayPal account for ISCH related communications (sending the newsletter and the Cultural History journal access token).

If you want to make a donation, please also contact the treasurer for your receipt. On behalf of the ISCH, we would like to thank you for any donation you’re able to make.

New membership system: November 2022.
