Membership in the French-Canadian Heritage Society of Michigan (FCHSM) allows us to promote French-Canadian History and Heritage. As a member your support is invaluable to the continuation of these efforts to maintain our unique heritage for the generations to come.
Membership Benefits
- A subscription to Michigan’s Habitant Heritage (MHH), our scholarly, quarterly journal, is included as part of an annual membership in FCHSM. FCHSM Members have access to all of our past issues published since 1980 through our website.
- Membership fees are only $35/year worldwide for digital only access, $40/year for U.S. members, and $55/year in U.S. funds for Canadian Members. That's less than what you and your significant other or friend would pay to attend a movie and have a meal after the movie!
- In an effort to reach as many people as possible, all of our in-person meetings are free and open to the public.
- We also hold approximately six Zoom meetings per year. Our speakers include authors and experts who make presentations on a variety of topics about the History of New France, the Great Lakes, the Mississippi Valley, Fort St. Joseph, Michilimackinac, and Detroit. Unlike some organizations who charge their members to attend their Zoom Meetings, our Zoom Meetings are free and open to the public. See the Events > Meetings page for our meeting schedule.
- FCHSM Members have free shared access to PRDH and GenealogyQuebec, the premier databases for researching Québec Parish and other records. An individual subscription would cost you a minimum of $111.99 per year in U.S. Funds.
- Our website provides historical and cultural information about New France, as well as Franch-Canadian settlements throughout the Great Lakes and Upper Mississippi Valley.
- FCHSM Members receive a discount on all of FCHSM's Books. See the Publications > Books page for more details.
- Access to our private Facebook page – please visit and join our group here by answering the three membership questions.
