Membership
Subscriptions
The Executive Committee, which has responsibility under ACARM's
Constitution for fixing subscription rates, has devised a subscription
scale which will produce a reasonable income without penalising members in
the poorer countries of the Commonwealth. The system used by the
International Council on Archives, which relates subscriptions to GNP, is
too complex to be adopted by ACARM as it stands, but a modified and more
simple system based on the ICA
model has been agreed.
A three-band subscription scale, related to ICA Category A subscription
rates, was introduced in January 1998. A fourth category was introduced
from 2001 to allow individual members to pay for four years. The current
rates (below) were introduced in 2010. The benefits of membership are
detailed elsewhere on this site.
