There are three categories of members (honorary members, associate members and full members) of the Balkan History Association (BHA). Honorary membership is granted by the President, upon the proposal of the Executive Board. Associate members are full members and external persons selected by the Executive Board, who are directly involved in BHA projects in various forms and whose scientific activity in recent years has been intense, in accordance with the profile of the association. They have no rights and obligations, are exempt from paying the annual membership, and do not receive hardcopies of Hiperboreea. Instead they represent the association in various projects and events, using its name as an affiliation. The name of associate members appears on the website separately from that of full individual members. Their membership is validated and forfeited by a decision of the Executive Board, according to the BHA Bylaws: Art. 17, Art. 19 (except d and e), and Art. 20.
Any individual, residing in Romania or abroad, who agrees formally with the BHA Bylaws and objectives is entitled to become a full member, provided that the following criteria are met:
– the prospective member demonstrates an active track of publications or dissemination of materials, academic or otherwise—including, but not limited to academic, professional or popular publications, dissertations, translations, or media content—in the fields of interest of the association, and/or
– the prospective member supports and advertises the activities of the BHA.

– application form (see below),
– curriculum vitae including, if the case, a list of publications,
