RDI dinners were held each year at the RSA: menus were designed by members of the Faculty

The distinction of Royal Designers for Industry (RDI) was created by the RSA in 1936 to enhance the status of designers in industry and encourage a high standard of industrial design. The distinction is conferred upon 'citizens of the United Kingdom, who have attained eminence in creative design for industry'. Only 100 designers are able to hold the distinction at any one time and it is regarded as the highest honour to be obtained in the United Kingdom in the fields of industrial design. In addition, the RSA confers upon a limited number of distinguished international industrial designers the award of Honorary Royal Designer for Industry (HonRDI).\nThe Faculty of Royal Designer's for Industry was formed in 1938 as the association of RDI's with the object of furthering the excellence of design and its application to industrial purposes. The Faculty's affairs are presided over by a Master who serves for two years, he is assisted by a Deputy Master who is Master Elect.\nNew appointments are made after consideration by the Faculty and a Joint Panel (comprised of the Faculty and the RSA's Council). Appointments are then ratified by the RSA's full Council.\n\nRecords include administrative correspondence and files including some information on members, minutes of committee meetings, printed items and publicity material and photographs\n
