How to Join or Renew
Developing Nations' Memberships
Sponsored memberships are available to faculty and students from developing nations. These memberships are free and entitle the member to all benefits of a regular membership. However, as a cost-saving measure, sponsored members will not receive a hard copy of the Journal of Arachnology but will have immediate access to the electronic journal.
If you wish to be considered for a sponsored membership, please contact the AAS Membership Secretary and provide:
- your home country
- your status (faculty, graduate student, etc.)
- and a brief statement about how sponsorship would be helpful.
The term "Developing nations" refers to those nations
classified as having low and lower-middle gross national income (GNI)
by the World Bank. This classification
may be viewed at the world bank's website.
Honorary Members
The Society elects Honorary Members in order to acknowledge arachnologists who have achieved a high level of eminence on the basis of significant research contributions.

The American Arachnological Society is pleased to recognize the outstanding contributions of these scientists:
