SAH Affiliate Groups allow SAH members who share a common, specific interest to gather for focused discussion, custom programming, and project collaboration. In eight years since their inception, groups have presented research at conferences, created open-source manuscripts and resources, and sponsored awards or competitions for scholarship in their area of interest.

Participating in Affiliate Group activities is a benefit of SAH Membership, one of the many ways we bring scholars together to lead our professional field. Current members may join SAH Affiliate Groups by emailing membership@sah.org. New and renewing members may choose to join or change Affiliate Groups when purchasing their SAH membership. 

For those who cannot afford a full SAH membership, but wish to gain access ONLY to Affiliate Group activities and resources, an annual Affiliate Access pass is available for $30.
