2010 Annual Membership and Subscription Fees

SAfA is pleased to announce the launch of our new membership and subscription payment page.  This page now integrates online membership registration and payment.  Additionally, it automatically generates password information for access to Nyame Akuma, as well as email confirmation of subscriptions and payments.

To access the page, please click on the following link:

SAfA Online Payment Page

When you open the page, you will select whether you are a new or renewing member.  For renewals, the form will ask you to fill in your membership number and provide you with a look-up feature to get that number.  Once you enter your membership number, your most current information will automatically fill the boxes.  You can make changes as appropriate. 

As you move down and fill out the form, you’ll note that you now have the opportunity to become a member for up to 6 years.  Currently, this will only be for your SAfA membership and not your journals, but we are attempting to negotiate multiple-year subscriptions as well.

Finally, some of the optional journal rates are dependent on your membership status.  Please select your individual membership first (student, retired, African resident in Africa, regular).  Once you do that, the correct optional journal rates will be displayed.

With this new system you will NOT need to email a membership form to the Treasurer, nor enter the Paypal system. 

Please note that credit card charges will show up on your statement as:

"RICE UNIV WEB SVCS"

As this is a new system, please contact the Treasurer (Jeff Fleisher, safa.treasurer@gmail.com) if you encounter any problems or have questions about the page.  Please note that the online payment system is run through Rice Universityand utilizes the most current and stringent security measures. 

If you do not have web access, you can still send in membership forms (see below) via fax or mail.

Options and Optional Journals

As before, you have a number of options to choose from when you become a member (or renew your membership):

·       You can choose to receive Nyame Akuma electronically (via login and password on the SAfA website).  If you choose this option, you will be issued a password that will allow you to access the six most recent issues.  Earlier back issues are archived online and available without a password. 

·       However, you can also choose to receive a hard copy subscription to Nyame Akuma; if you choose this option, you will also receive access to the electronic versions. 

As a benefit of SAfA membership, you can order either of the following journals at a discount over regular subscription rates: 

           African Archaeological Review

          Journal of African Archaeology

Please note that these subscription rates are for individuals only; we cannot process Institutional subscriptions to these optional journals.
