Members enjoy the full benefits of the best and latest information on finds and ongoing activities throughout the state.

Membership is on a calendar year basis. Applications made after October 31 of any year are automatically placed for the following year. Applications made prior to that receive all Quarterly Bulletins and Newsletters for the calendar year. For each membership, the Quarterly Bulletin and the ASV Newsletter are provided, mailed in March, June, September and December. Information about the Society's Annual Meeting held generally in October is also provided as well as other pertinent information.

Members are encouraged to join their local chapters (See our Local Chapters page). Chapters form the base for ASV activities and by joining a chapter, members can fully participate in meetings, surveys, digs, Certification, artifact processing, archival research or whatever research the member wishes.

Members receive:

  • 4 issues of the Quarterly Bulletin
