Good morning,
Actually, I was a memeber of the Institute of Information Scientists before the creation of CILIP. When the IIS and Library Association joined to form CILIP, I left to join the SOA...
The main reason was that relevant information and representation for archives and archivists was getting diluted in CILIP. I didn't feel I belonged there.
Regards

Subject: SOA membership
In the light of recent discussions, it seems to me that, if the SOA
is really too small to qualify for discounts on books, and - far more
importantly - too small for its members to receive a proper
chartership, then its amalgamation with CILIP should be seriously
considered.
Fewer and fewer colleagues maintain their membership of the
SOA, and those that do apparently do so only in order to receive
the vacancies supplement.
