Member Benefits
The Medieval Academy, the world’s oldest and largest organization of medievalists, supports research and teaching in medieval records, literature, languages, arts, archaeology, history, philosophy, science, life, and all other aspects of medieval civilization.

Join more than 4000 medievalists throughout the world and receive the following benefits:

Speculum
MAA members receive online access to the entire Speculum archive in addition to a print subscription.

Member Directory
Members have access to an online directory of MAA members with profiles and contact information.

Publication Discounts
Members receive a 30% discount on the publications of the University of Chicago Press, a 20% discount to the online Chicago Manual of Style, and discounted subscriptions to several online resources such as the International Medieval Bibliography and JPASS.

JSTOR Discount
Members receive a 50% discount on JPASS - JSTOR's individual access plan.  JPASS connects unaffiliated scholars - independent researchers, faculty with limited JSTOR access, and anyone working outside the academy - to the 1,700+ scholarly journals in the JSTOR archive on a monthly or annual basis.  Designed specifically for those with limited or no JSTOR access, JPASS acts as your "personal library card" where you pay a fee and get unlimited reading and limited downloading to JSTOR's rich digital library.

Medieval Academy News
The newsletter of the MAA is published digitally approximately once a month with announcements of interest to medievalists and feature stories on the activities of the MAA and its members.

Medieval Academy Blog
The Blog includes job postings, calls for papers, conference notices, and funding opportunities.

Medieval Digital Resources
The MAA is developing a robust database of digital resources that all members can contribute to, search, and review.

Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting is a major international conference held each spring. Members receive discounted registration.

Centers and Regional Associations
The Committee on Centers and Regional Associations (CARA) serves as a forum for medievalists concerned with teaching, administering centers and programs, and organizing meetings. CARA offers awards for excellence in teaching and for outstanding service to the field as well as an annual grant to support a regional symposium.

Other Meetings

The Academy sponsors sessions at the ICMS at Kalamazoo and the IMC at Leeds.


Prizes and Grants:

Independent, Contingent, and Junior Scholars
The Olivia Remie Constable Awards support research by independent, contingent, and junior scholars. Travel Grants help members who hold doctorates but are not in full-time positions attend conferences to present their work. The Belle Da Costa Greene Award supports research by medievalists of color, with preference given to independent, contingent, and junior scholars.

Graduate Students
The Academy awards nearly $90,000 in Awards and Fellowships every year. In addition, Travel Bursaries support students presenting at the MAA Annual Meeting. The Graduate Student Committee offers several travel bursaries to support students who wish to attend the Annual Meeting and also contributes funding to student-run symposia.

Publication Prizes
Five awards are presented annually for outstanding work in a medieval field: the Haskins Medal (for a distinguished monograph), the Digital Humanities and Multimedia Studies Prize, the Karen Gould Prize (for a monograph in art history), the John Nicholas Brown Prize (for a first book), and the Van Courtlandt Elliott Prize (for a first article).

Book Subvention
The Academy’s Book Subvention program provides subventions to university or other non-profit scholarly presses to help support the publication of first books by Academy members.
