Richard Davies, curator of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) Museum, explains how free AIM membership can benefit Regimental and Corps museums.
National Army Museum partnership
From 1 April 2022 and for the duration of the partnership, annual AIM membership fee costs for relevant museums will be covered by the National Army Museum.
Over 70 Regimental and Corps Museums have already joined, gaining free access to all the benefits of AIM membership including exclusive grants, support, micro-consultancies, training, events and more.

Sign up to your free membership
If you are new to AIM simply complete the Join AIM form>> adding the code (NAM2022) as a suffix to your museum name.
For example, ‘The Museum of the Light Infantry (NAM2022)’.
You can find our museum size categories at the bottom of this page>>
Payment will be picked up by NAM – in the field relating to payment on the Joining form, we suggest you use ‘cheque’.
If you are an existing AIM member you need take no action, we will extend your membership to ensure you do not lose out. For example, if you joined, or renewed, six months prior to the partnership start date (01 04 22) we will extend your membership expiry by that same period, adding it on to when the partnership concludes.
If you have any queries on the new partnership, or AIM more generally, please don’t hesitate to contact us on membership@aim-museums.co.uk
