eHRAF Archaeology Membership & Trial Info

As a small, nonprofit and financially autonomous membership organization, HRAF is more than a database provider. In addition to providing unlimited on- and off campus access to eHRAF for our member institutions, we take pride in giving personalized support (e.g. webinars) to librarians, faculty, researchers, and students.

Consortium and regular associate memberships for our award-winning eHRAF Archaeology database are available for academic institutions. Individual memberships are also available for researchers not affiliated with member institutions. We also have limited perpetual access memberships with no subsequent annual dues or fees.

Institutional Member Dues

Thank you for your interest in eHRAF Archaeology! We love welcoming new members into our organization. Dues for eHRAF Archaeology depend on whether your institution is considering becoming a consortia member or a regular associate member.

We also offer regular associate member dues and sponsoring member dues.

The consortium membership dues are assessed annually and are based on the institution’s full-time student enrollment (FTE) for the past fall semester and includes all undergraduates, graduates and professional students.
