Owing to production time and increasing difficulty of international shipping, the journals from the UK are frequently late.  You may expect the June journal to arrive closer to July, for example.  But as long you are a paid member, rest assured they are coming!  In the event that your journals do not arrive at all, please contact the Membership Chair.

The American Branch is a totally separate entity incorporated in the United States and subject to New York law, with its own governance, revenue, and programs. However, we share the same mission as the Richard III Society, Ltd., in the UK, and in 2022, we became formally affiliated with them. This affiliation is a public attestation that our organizations will, from time to time, collaborate with each other in advancing the study of history and in building a community of Ricardians.

We need to register your name, address and DOB with the UK Richard III Society, Ltd., so that you can receive the UK’s quarterly magazine, annual journal, and invitations to all their talks and events. With registration, you will also be able to have a say in how the UK Richard III Society is run by being invited to their Annual Membership Meeting (AGM) and participating in the election of its officers and directors.

Being a member of the UK Richard III Society allows you to access special benefits offered on the UK’s website (richardiii.net) such as the Members Area, where you can read online versions of their publications, and find a treasure trove of research material. For any questions about your membership in the UK Richard III Society, please contact the American Branch Membership Chair at membership@r3.org.

You will need a UK Membership ID to sign up for talks and events with the UK Richard III Society, and to create a digital profile allowing you access the Members Area of the UK website (richardiii.net). Membership cards with your ID number are sent out every December. You can always find your membership number printed on the mailing label of materials from the UK. It is preceded by the prefix “US” and looks like this: US-#####.

If in doubt, contact the American Branch Membership Chair at membership@r3.org.

The UK "Parent" Society mails membership cards automatically to all members, including those in the US, with the December issue of the Bulletin.  The membership cards give special discounts to various places of Ricardian interest around the UK, including the King Richard III Visitor Centre and the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Center.  For a complete list, see the UK Society's site.

For further questions or to replace a card, send an email to membership@r3.org

Because the American Branch is a US 501(c)(3) tax exempt, registered public charity in New York state, we are allowed to accept donations from the public, and donors are allowed to declare gifts as charitable contributions for US income tax purposes. The correct way to identify us is “Richard III Society, INC.” or “Richard III Society-American Branch”. (Gifts to the UK Society need to be identified as going to “Richard III Society, LTD.”; their tax deductibility is not clear since they are not US-based. We recommend you seek professional advice if you wish to declare gifts to the UK Society as charitable contributions.)

Please note that we are unable to accept donations of personal property, personal archives, real estate, collectible items and antiques. We ask that you contact chairperson@r3.org before making a restricted donation. Should you wish to donate books to our libraries, please contact researchlibrary@r3.org or fictionlibrary@r3.org. Unless otherwise specified, cash donations will be understood to go towards the operation of our Society and its programs.
