Membership in
The Johnstone History Society is separate from website registration..
The society operates the local museum in Johnstone and holds monthly meetings from September through May to conduct business and enjoy presentations by local and international scholars of Scottish history. For more information about the society or to join,
Go Here.
Website Registration
Membership is FREE and open to all persons sharing an interest in our regional history. There are two types of membership: Registrant and Subscriber. Registrants may read news, communicate with other members, post updates and keep a personal journal to share experiences with others. Please kote that registration on the website is not automatic if you are a member of the Johnstone History Society; you must also register here with your name, email and password. (Privacy)
Privacy! Here's how we'll use your information: Only your user ID (nickname) will appear automatically in the Directory listing; in your profile you may also add and display your real name. Your contact data will be confidential; we may use it only to contact you about association business. It will NOT be distributed to third parties, nor will you receive unwanted messages from advertisers.
Do it now! Your data will be transmitted to the system and added to the directory, and the editor will be notified. Easy. No excuses. We repeat: Do it now!
Subscription
FREE registration does not help us pay the costs of the site. Subscription to the site is easy, and at £12 per year it's a bargain. You get expanded profile features plus early notice of more goodies as the site grows, and you may participate in more features of the site. We use revenue to pay the expenses of the web site, and any surplus (hope springs eternal) helps suppport other museum projects.
The subscription procedure is under renovation. In the interim please consider a one-time donation.
Inappropriate Content
- Ad hominem attacks on other members or other comments inappropriate for this family-friendly site will not be tolerated.
- We appreciate your notice of inappropriate content.
- We do not send spam, and we wish others would follow the same policy. Unfortunately that is not the case. We are occasionally bothered by persons who register as members, apparently in an attempt to gain some sort of benefit we cannot fathom. No harm is done, and they do not get any benefit, but they keep doing it. Sometimes you'll see their false names in the New Member list, and we delete them as we spot them, but we cannot watch the site 24/7.
Thanks for your understanding and your participation.
