Dues are as follows:
- Individual membership: $20.00;
- Family membership: $25.00;
- Contributing Membership: $30.00.

All extra contributing membership money goes to purchase books or microfilm for the North Carolina Room in the Morganton Branch of the Burke Library.  One Journal per family address is sent but husband and wife each have voting rights.

Membership dues are on a calendar year basis from January 1 to December 31. New mid-year memberships will receive all the journals for that calendar year. Those who join after October 1, should indicate if they wish their membership to begin with the coming year or if they wish to receive all the present year's journals.

An application brochure may be obtained from the Society's address
 or you may fill in the membership FORM.

New members should include the Burke County surnames they are  researching. The Society publishes a membership list annually,  including the surnames  being researched and contact information.

Journals are published on a quarterly basis. Material for publication is solicited from the membership for consideration for publication in the Journal. Queries are free to members.
