In light of Bob Schuyler's recent encouragement of all qualified
     Society for Historical Archaeologists (SHA) members to join the
     Register of Professional Archaeologists, it may be helpful for
     HISTARCH subscribers to know how you may apply.  The brief application
     form and description of qualification standards can be downloaded from
     the SHA Web page <www.sha.org>.  You will note that the $35
     application fee has been waived through March 31, 1999.  Once
     accepted, annual registration fees for members of either sponsoring
     organization (the SHA and the Society for American Archaeology) will
     be $45, which is a substantial discount from the fees that will be
     charged of registrants unaffiliated with the Register sponsors.
 
     Anyone wishing information about the Register and its relationship to
     the SHA may contact me via e-mail at <[log in to unmask]> (it is not
     my intent to start another protracted HISTARCH discussion on this
     subject), or call me at 402-437-5392x108.  As SHA's appointed
     representative on the Register's interim board of directors, I would
     be happy to answer your questions.
