BCS Members
Joining
Go to the BCS website,

Computer Conservation Society entry.
Welcome to the CCS!

Leaving CCS
As per joining, but “untick” the
Computer Conservation Society entry.
Sorry to see you go.
Leaving BCS
We are aware that some BCS members terminate their membership on retirement.
If that applies to you, you might want to consider
retired rate membership
or life membership.
But if you still want to leave, but you’d like to continue as a member of the
Computer Conservation Society then you can re-join by following
the instructions for non-members of the BCS on the right.
It would be helpful to us if you note that you are leaving the BCS in the
Additional Information box.
If you were a BCS member for more than five years it would also be even more useful to say so
because it MAY entitle you to continue to receive Resurrection, our journal, without charge.

Donations
Although there are no subscriptions to the Computer Conservation Society we do
welcome small donations to support the work which we undertake.
Each year we ask members to donate £15 or more to a ring-fenced fund which
we use to support our projects and other worthwhile objectives in the field
of computer restoration and history.
This is, of course, completely voluntary – there is no obligation to contribute.
Should you feel moved to contribute at any time please go to
our donations page to
find out about how to make a donation.
Resurrection
Members of the CCS who are also BCS members receive a
free printed copy of the Society journal Resurrection
four times a year as will any CCS members aged 60 and over
who are also former-BCS members of at least five year’s standing.
Other CCS members are invited to subscribe to Resurrection for the modest
sum of £10.00 for four issues. Start from
the Resurrection section of this website
to subscribe.
In any event you may read Resurrection online at
the Resurrection section of this website.
Annals of the History of Computing
Since the beginning of 2003, CCS members have benefited
under an arrangement whereby they can subscribe to the IEEE’s
Annals of the History of Computing
at a reduced rate, provided that enough members sign up to make the scheme viable.
To take advantage of this scheme, please contact Doron Swade
(doron.swade@blueyonder.co.uk;)
who administers the quarterly distribution of the Annals to CCS subscribers.
