Historian Tier subscribers are the backbone of The Rugby History Project. Historians receive an exclusive monthly newsletter alongside other bits of bonus content and discount codes to The Rugby History Project shop. Historian Tier costs £4 a month, with an annual subscription costing just £40 (two months free!).
Historian Tier Subscriptions help keep The Rugby History Project going, contributing to site hosting fees, archive access and the odd research book. If you decide to upgrade, you live with the knowledge I had a little cry when I got the notification (happy tears).
