Poe Society Membership Information

The Edgar Allan Poe Society of Baltimore; Organized 1923, Incorporated 1946

This non-profit, incorporated society exists primarily to:

• provide for the annual public lecture, given by an outstanding Poe scholar, in recognition of Poe’s contributions to American and World literature. (When circumstances permit, this lecture is published by the Poe Society, in cooperation with the University of Baltimore.)
• cherish the associations of Poe and Baltimore.
• improve understanding of Poe’s life and his writings by study, publication and by replying to queries from members and other interested individuals. (We also, now, maintain this Web Page.)

Persons interested in supporting the efforts of the Poe Society are urged to become members. The membership year is from October of the current year to September of the following year. Because the US Post Office lost our last membership mailing, we no longer are doing an annual membership mailing.

We are in the process of re-evaluating our membership categories and processes. In the meantime, please visit our Donation and Membership page.
