How to Join
Pay online at our MetaPress site. This is the preferred method for both US and non-US members, both individuals and institutions, and will grant fastest access. Instructions for individual members:
- Create a MetaPress account (register a username and password):
- Go to http://hess.metapress.com and click on the "Register" link (located in the left margin of the page, within the green "Welcome!" area).
- After clicking on the Register link, you will be taken to a registration screen to create an account with MetaPress, the online host of Earth Sciences History. Click on the button labeled "Register Individual," then enter the data required in the fields provided. You will choose your MetaPress username and password; then click the "OK" button at the bottom of the screen. Once you click "OK," you will be taken to a screen which displays your MetaPress username and MetaPress ID. An e-mail notification will also be sent to you confirming the details of your registration.
- Purchase HESS Membership (Earth Sciences History subscription):
- Once you are registered with MetaPress you can purchase your membership/subscription directly from the MetaPress website. Make sure you are logged in to your MetaPress account, and go to the HESS page (http://hess.metapress.com ).
- Once there, click on the "Membership" link (located at the top of the page). This will take you to a page that lists the various membership options - print, online, both, and student.
- Click the green "Add" button next to the membership option you prefer, and then you will be taken to a payment page to complete your purchase.
- NOTE: When prompted for an address, you may enter a shipping address INSTEAD of your billing address, if you wish to have the journal delivered to your office instead of home.
