Museum Membership

The Canadian Aviation Historical Society (CAHS) has created a new membership category for museums. The CAHS expressly designed the Museum Member option for three purposes:

  1. To attract museums to join with the CAHS in preserving and celebrating Canada's aviation history;
  2. To help cross-promote the profile of Canada's aviation museums and the CAHS through the organizations' membership and networks; and
  3. To foster an increasing sense of community and professionalism amongst aviation museums.

For the annual cost of $100, a Museum Member gains access to these exciting benefits:

  1. Baseline CAHS National membership rights: 1 copy of quarterly Journal; 1 vote at annual AGM; access to Members' Only section of www.cahs.ca website; space to create a Member's Page on www.cahs.ca website;
  2. Donation tax receipt for $50;
  3. Museum's name displayed in each monthly CAHS newsletter, linked to the Museum Member's web site;
  4. The ability to contribute news, information, and updates to a Museum Members column of the CAHS e-newsletter;
  5. The CAHS will work to schedule at least one museum related speaker at the annual convention;
  6. Invite Museum Members to schedule a Museum Members session in conjunction with the CAHS annual convention to discuss museum related issues;
  7. An invitation to place one pre-printed flyer in each of our quarterly CAHS Journal mailings for free (up to a $100 benefit);
  8. Museum Members would be offered special rates for selling the CAHS Journal in their gift shop:
    • $4/Journal to buy stock for their gift shop for 1-5 copies per issue
    • The CAHS would provide up to 5 more copies for free (copies 6-10)
    • As of copy 11, museums would pay $4/issue again
    • Up to a $80 benefit;
  9. Be offered display space for free at our annual convention;
  10. In return, the CAHS requests that Museum Members would:
    • Put a link to the CAHS website on their website
    • Include CAHS info items in newsletters
    • Permit CAHS membership brochures to be displayed
    • Inform their members that the CAHS Journal seeks articles on aviation history.

CAHS Museum Member Form 2014This is a $230 value, available to Canadian aviation museums for only $100.
