The Society is a community of people with related interests and specialities. Its events provide opportunities for the exchange of ideas. Members attend HMS events at reduced prices.

The members of HMS form an important network with shared activities, events and resources. They also make it possible to publish a journal which is fully open access. This means that authors can be published without any charges and that their work will be on-line so that their work will be available on-line without any embargo. The change to open access publication does not mean the end of hard-copy publication of either the journal, Historical Metallurgy (twice a year) or of the HMS newsletter The Crucible (twice a year). Both are high quality publications with full colour images.

Anyone making tax payments to the UK Revenue & Customs (HMRC) can claim 25% of the net value of subscriptions and donations purchased and gift the amount to the Historical Metallurgy Society (at no personal cost). HMS claims it back from HMRC.

subscriptions

In view of the bank charges incurred for money transfers, a three-year subscription rate is available at three times the annual rate.

hard copy

Where anyone opts to receive hard copy of either the journal or the newsletter, or both, there is a charge covering the cost of printing and postage.
