Sections, Journals & Dues

One of the best parts of joining the AAA, is that you get access to exclusive membership in one or more of our 40 specialized sections and access to all ~30 section journals via AnthroSource, our digital database.

Section memberships enhance the benefits of AAA by providing access to specialized leadership and mentoring opportunities, a close-knit community of anthropologists, and of course access to their special events at the AAA Annual Meeting.
