Digital only membership
All members of the Society are able to access copies of Trollopiana digitally on the website. If you are happy not to receive a physical printed copy of Trollopiana, you can opt for digital only membership. Instead of posting you physical copies of Trollopiana, we will email you each time a new issue is available with a link to the website where you can view or download Trollopiana. Note Digital Only members will not receive a physical welcome pack. This option avoids the high cost of international postage and may suit members outside the UK.

Gift membership
Membership of the Trollope Society makes an ideal gift for any Trollope enthusiast. We ask you to provide some details of the person that you are buying the gift for and we’ll then take care of the rest. Complete our Gift Membership Application.

Join us by post
