A one year membership covers a calendar year from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31.

And includes access to the member’s side of our website which contains details on sources that the VRSC has negotiated preferred rates with that you can apply to any of the projects you work on by identifying yourself as a member of the Society. It also includes access to a database of sources—their contact information and details of their holdings as well as daily updates on industry news, job offers and so much more through our closed Facebook page.


The VRSC puts on educational workshops in different regions of the country exclusively for our members and makes summaries of those sessions available online for those who can’t attend. The VRSC also has a medical and dental plan for its members through ACTRA and details on that will be sent to you in your welcome package.
