Become a Member

Individual Members are any natural persons involved in one of the four themes of EXARC.

Please fill out the Registration Form for Individual Members.

After we have received your registration form, we will send you an invoice for the membership fee (email: PDF).

Institutional Members are legal persons: Archaeological Open-Air Museums, Universities, Living History Associations or any non-commercial institutions actively involved in and endorsing the objectives of EXARC.

Please fill out the Registration Form for Institutional Members.

After we have received your Registration Form, nearby members are informed about you wanting to become member. This is both meant as a good introduction as well as inquiring if there is a real and serious reason not to accept you – this hardly ever is the case. The opinion of the members as well as the information you gave is handed to the EXARC Board who decides.

All members need to pay the annual Membership fee which in 2021 is: 
For institutional members, the fee you pay is based on your annual budget (See Category A, B and C).

If the PPP per capita in your country is below the World average you are in Category 3, you pay 10 EUR to be an EXARC member, but you will not receive an EXARC Journal Digest.

Cancelling your Membership

The EXARC Charter states that: “Members are authorised to cancel their memberships in observance of a notice period of at least thirteen weeks prior to the end of the association year.” 
https://exarc.net/about-us/charter

Please note that this means that your EXARC membership is self-renewing and needs to be cancelled before 1 October if you intend to stop being member for the upcoming year. If you don't contact EXARC before that date, your membership will not lapse, but will automatically continue, and payment will be required. 

Please contact us if you wish to cancel your membership.

Note:  When membership is cancelled, one needs to return their EXARC member's card and member's shield (for institutional members) to EXARC and remove all EXARC logos from one's website, other communication platforms and communication tools like for example PR brochures.
