  We present radial velocities for 29 B- and A-type stars in the field of the
nearby association Perseus OB2. The velocities are derived from spectra
obtained with AURELIE, via cross correlation with radial velocity standards
matched as closely as possible in spectral type. The resulting accuracy is ~2 -
3 km s$^{-1}$. We use these measurements, together with published values for a
few other early-type stars, to study membership of the association. The mean
radial velocity (and measured velocity dispersion) of Per OB2 is 23.5 \pm 3.9
km s$^{-1}$, and lies ~15 km s$^{-1}$ away from the mean velocity of the local
disk field stars. We identify a number of interlopers in the list of possible
late-B- and A-type members which was based on Hipparcos parallaxes and proper
motions, and discuss the colour-magnitude diagram of the association.
