WOMEN'S HISTORY NETWORK
The Women's History Network (WHN) was founded in 1991 to encourage contact between all people with an interest in women's history, whatever their background or qualifications. Our members come from all walks of life including education, the media and private research.
Our aims are to:
- Collect and publish information regarding all aspects of women's history
- Identify and comment on relating issues
- Promote research into all areas of women's history
- Establish a database of the research, teaching and study interests of members and related organisations and individuals

The conference provides everyone interested in women's history with a chance to meet and an exciting forum where new research can be aired and recent developments in the field can be shared.

Members receive three copies per year of the Magazine which contains: articles discussing research, sources and applications of women's history; reviews of books, conferences, meetings and exhibitions; and information on calls for papers, prizes and competitions, and publication opportunities.
Who runs the WHN ?
WHN business is carried out by the National Steering Committee, which is elected by the membership and meets regularly several times each year. It organizes the annual conference, manages finance and membership, and co-ordinates activities in pursuit of WHN aims.
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of WHN takes place at the conference when policy is discussed and the National Steering Committee is elected.

At our recent committee meeting in October 2007 it was decided to increase and change membership rates which have been frozen since 2003 in order to bring them into line with other similar organisations. From January 2008 the fees will be: Student/unwaged
| £10 by standing order
| £15 other | | Low income (under £20,000 per annum) | £20 by standing order | £25 other
| | High income | £35 by standing order, | £40 other | | Overseas individuals | £40 Life membership
| £350
| | UK institutions | £45 Overseas institutions | £55
|
We recommend that members by standing order, as this will give you a reduced rate for many of the subscriptions. It also helps to decrease administrative work and ensures payment on time.
If you are a UK taxpayer, it would also greatly help the network if you could complete the gift aid form, as this will allow us to claim back 28p for each £1 of your subscription fee.
We have also introduced a life membership subscription for members who would like to make a one off payment. Please contact the membership secretary if you would like to pay your subscription in this way Existing members - if any of your details have changed, or a change of status means payment of a different membership rate, or if you are unsure if your membership is up-to-date, please email
