Detail from the 'Crowning of the Victors at Olympia' by James Barry in the Society's Great Room. This shows Diagoras, a former champion, being carried on the shoulders of his two victorious sons. The print is dated 1 May 1795 but the version with the inscription at the bottom was not produced until 1800.

Print of Orpheus painted by James Barry in the Society's Great Room. The print is dated 1 May 1791 but was not actually published until 23 April 1792.

The engraving shows 2 panels, one containing King George and the other Queen Charlotte. Barry wanted these to replace the portraits of Lord Romney and Lord Folkestone in the Great Room. Barry wanted the panel showing King George to be stationed between the Great Room paintings of 'Orpheus' and 'Grecian Harvest Home', while the picture of Queen Charlotte he wanted to be sited opposite, between 'The Thames' and 'The Distribution of the Premiums'. Barry was never permitted to replace the existing portraits of Lords Romney and Folkestone. \nAlthough the engraving shows a plublication date of 1 May 1791 the first publication did not actually occur until 1792.

Print of the Thames painted by James Barry in the Society's Great Room. The print is dated 1 May 1791 but this is far too early as the addition of the naval pillar to the painting was not made until late 1801, early 1802.

This is a revised detail of the group of legislators that James Barry painted in the 'Elysium and Tartarus' painting in the Society's Great Room. In this version Barry substitutes Cecilius Calvert, second Lord Baltimore for William Penn. Barry also introduced other figures, including Benjamin Franklin, into the print surrounding Pope Adrian in the upper left of the drawing.

This print shows a revision of the Glorius Sextumvirate shown in James Barry's original 'Elysium and Tartarus' painted in the Society's Great Room. The print gives a date of 1 May 1795 but when first published they did not have any lettering (the Society does hold one of these prints). The version which included the inscription was not ready until 1800. Comparison of the 1795 and 1800 versions shows the changes Barry made.

This is a detail of the angelic guiard and the group of illustrious patrons that James Barry painted as part of the 'Elysium and Tartarus' painting in the Society's Great Room. Unusually there is no inscription under the print.

Depiction of the fall of Satan with St Michael driving Satan out. James Barry dedicated the drawing to the Dean and Chapter of St Paul's who had approved the plan to decorate the church with history paintings. Although the print is dated 1777 it appears that it may be a later version c1790

Correspondence and working papers relating to the funding of the Design Busaries Competition. Also correspondence about developing Anglo-American relations via the Design Management Institute, Boston, Massachusetts.

In November 1944 the Council of the RSA was invited by the Bishop of Columbo, as chairman of the Columbo New Cathedral Committee to act as the agent in London for his committee in organising a competition open to qualified members of the Royal Institute of British Architects or allied bodies, for a design for the projected new Anglican Cathedral in Columbo. The Council agreed to sponsor the competition and arranged that it should be administered by the Committee of the Dominions and Colonies Section, under the Chairmanship of Sir Harry Lindsay. The choice of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott as Assessor had been arranged with the Royal Institute of British Architects.\n\nAmong the correspondence is the conditions of the competition, names and addresses of competitors, administrative correspondence, the Assessors final report and site plans of the cathedral.

In 1973 the Burton Group introduced a series of awards which were designed to examine and improve the effectiveness of the designer's role in industry. These awards were administered variously by the RSA, the Design Council, The Royal College of Arts and the Society of industrial Artists and Designers with funds provided by the Burton Group.\n\nPart 1: The Burton Group Design Award Report for the Royal Society of Arts. \n ''The Needs of the Manufacturing Sector in their Expectations of Industrial\n Designers' by John Collins, June 1978\n\nPart 2: Burton Award project 1978-1979 was administered by the RSA in conjunction\n with the University of Bath. Research was undertaken by Jay Doblin and\n focussed on what should be done to improve the standard of buying and thereby\n design, particularly in education and training. Administrative correspondence.\n

The Photographic section was an addition to the Design Bursaries in 1980/81. The award was given specifically for colour and was offered at a considerably increased value. The competition was sponsored by Kodak.\n\nAdministrative correspondence which includes a report on the 1980/81 candidates.

Includes applications for awards and a few samples of essays written in support of claims.

Information taken originally from published reports of the scheme were weeded from this file.\n\nFile consists of background information on the origins of the scheme and a list of the scheme's highlights.

Two types of awards were made under this scheme. Travel awards, awarded from the start of the scheme, enabled students to research design in other countries. Attachment awards, introduced in 1977, gave students a chance to work in a commercial or industrial organisation on design related projects. Sometimes they also included money for a study tour or travel to the company's overseas offices or trade fairs. Winners of travel awards had to submit a proposal describing their destination choice and aims of the study tour for approval by the RSA prior to travel and the awards had to be used within 18 months of their presentation. All winning students were required to submit a report to the RSA on completion of their attachment/ travel. All reports passed to the archive are catalogued here although not all winners submitted reports. Occasionally students submitted a copy of their research project rather than a report on their travel/ attachment. \n\nThe travel and attachment reports are catalogued together. They are arranged chronologically in the year in which the award was made, and alphabetically within each year. While most entries were made by individuals, there were some team competitions which in some cases led to a joint report. Where a report was submitted by a student who won two awards in different years, this has been catalogued under the earlier year. Some individual winners submitted joint travel and attachment reports.\n\nFor several years the engineering section of the competition was judged at a later date than the other sections. This meant that the winning entries were recorded in the review book for the following year. However, they have been catalogued under their winning year. \n\nRecords include original travel, attachment and research reports, and photocopies of travel, attachment and research reports (where the original has been returned to the student). Also, some correspondence between winning students and the RSA. \n\nThe reports do not usually contain information on the competition briefs or on the winning entries. This information can be found in the annual project books which were published prior to the competition describing the briefs and the awards on offer, and the annual review/ report books which were produced detailing the winners. These also contain information on the judges and sponsors of the competition.
