CHCI members run the gamut from small, university based centers to Institutes for Advanded Study, and from major independent organizations to research libraries. Members are engaged in a similarly wide range of programs, including research support, community-based initiatives, internal and external fellowship programs, activism and advocacy on issues of cultural and educational policy, and the development and maintenance of research collections. Many CHCI members are highly visible, powerful agents of growth, change, and advocacy on their campuses and within their communities.

CHCI members are provided with a descriptive entry in our online and print directories, are eligible to circulate information to our listserv and to participate in Annual Meetings, and are eligible to participate in special programs and projects such as our partnership with the American Council of Learned Societies. More importantly, CHCI members are a part of an active network of peer organizations engaged in vigorous dialogues about both critical intellectual issues and the “nuts and bolts” of running a humanities center or institute.

As CHCI grows along with our field, we are expanding the definition of eligibility for membership, and if you are considering joining, it is more than likely that your organization would benefit from being a part of CHCI. Please browse our Member Directory to browse our membership list and obtain an overview of the CHCI membership.

CHCI membership dues are $400 per year. If your organization is interested in joining CHCI, please contact us.

Thank you for considering membership in CHCI!
