New Guild Memberships

The Guild membership year runs from 1st November to the following 31st October. Membership renewals are payable annually on 1st November. The Guild, by its Constitution, accepts only individuals as members (although there is nothing to prevent an individual who is a member of an organisation from joining). However, organisations or institutions may become subscribers to the Guild and receive the Guild's annual register and four quarterly Journals.

For individuals joining the Guild, there is a sliding scale of prices depending on the month of joining, which offers up to twenty-three months of membership for a single joining fee. Members joining during December and January have the option of choosing either the basic term, up to the next 1st November (ten or eleven months’ membership) or an extended term until 1st November of the following year (22 or 23 months’ membership).

Membership prices are set in British £ (GBP). Currency exchange rates are then applied to offer memberships in a variety of currencies. The tables below use today's exchange rates to provide approximate membership prices for the available currencies. Actual prices will be re-calculated at the time of purchase.

New members are also invited to register a study surname at the time you join us, by paying a one-time fee of £14.00 GBP (or equivalent) at the time you purchase your membership. Note that you do not have to register any One-Name Study at the time you join. Instead you can join as an ordinary member and still gain from most of the Guild’s facilities and benefits. You can apply to register a study at any time you feel ready. Click to find out more about One-Name Studies.

To proceed with your membership, please select one of the following options.
You will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of currencies and payment methods in our Guild Shop.
