Benefits of Membership

Become a BFHA Member

Becoming a Member of BFHA is a great way to dive deeper into research, access out-of-print materials, and help support the work we do. Dues are used to help preserve our history while growing the resources available to our researchers and keeping them accessible to the public.

Members of BFHA are entitled to two hours of free research each Membership year completed by BFHA volunteers using the vast and unique resources of the Local History & Genealogy Department of the Berkshire Athenaeum.

Members also receive an annual subscription to The Berkshire Family Historian, published four times a year. Current Members can log into BFHA’s Member Portal for exclusive access to back issues of Berkshire Family Historian and the out-of-print Berkshire Genealogist.

BFHA Annual Membership is $15 and runs from January 1 through December 31. Purchase a Membership online below or download our Member Brochure to submit your request with a check.
