Online Membership
As announced at our AGM at SOAS on 9 September 2010, one important new feature of the BAJS website which has been undergoing a major overhaul this year is that from 2011 onwards all membership subscriptions will be handled online.
Existing members have been emailed with their username and password for the system, along with details of how to renew their BAJS subscription via a secure online payment system (PayPal). As well as the advantages of being able to pay for your subscription using your credit / debit card, the new system will allow you to log in to the BAJS website and manage your personal details (contact address, email etc). Member login
If you are an existing 2011 member and need a reminder of your login details for the site, you can obtain this via the Member login.
Please take a moment when renewing your subscription to check that all your membership details, including email and postal contact addresses are correct and current, and amend your membership record if necessary.
New members are now able to subscribe to a BAJS membership for the year 2012. Register now
We will no longer be accepting membership subscriptions by standing order or international bank payments. Please remember to cancel your standing order for membership.
