The 2013 IfA Yearbook (it was the only one I had immediately to hand) lists the names of c.2,200 IfA members . Where are the other 3,000. I presume they are Affiliate members, many of whom are students and probably not interfacing with the resource in quite the same way. I also wonder why so few of the lower grade fieldwork staff that I know are members.
