Programmes, Reports and Examination Papers of the RSA's examinations were printed annually between 1856 and 1990. After this date records include the Examination Papers only. Between 1890 and 1940 Programmes, Reports and Examination Papers are included in one volume.\n\nFrom 1856-1919 and 1932-1966 the publications detailing the course content were called Programmes. For the years 1920-1931 and from 1967 onwards the same publications were called Syllabuses. The content of both Programmes and Syllabuses are the same. \n\nFrom 1925 the Examination Papers were bound in separate volumes. There are separate volumes for Examination Papers in Languages (for the years 1983-1986); Typewriting (1915-1989); Music (1915-1925); Office Practice and Secretarial Duties (1981-1982); Special Examinations (1951-1980); School Certificates (1957-1973) and Teacher's Certificates (1949-1988).\n\nThe Reports include details regarding the total number of candidates with pass and fail rates but do not include the lists of individual candiates, only those candidates who were awarded with special prizes.

This report is the sequel to the Society's earlier Conference on Energy and the Environment held in November 1974. The aim of this Conference was to help to provide some of that required encouragement by stimulating interest in the potential contribution of renewable energy sources to the nation's energy needs, doing so at a time when national energy policy was the subject of both government review and considerable public interest.

The aim of the conference was to provide an opportunity for consideration of how patterns of work and population in small towns and the countryside were likely to change over the next two or three decades and what the consequences might be for the environment. The conference was related to the two previous conferences: 'Work: Changing Patterns and Place' (24 June 1981) and 'Homes and the Countryside'' (26 November 1981).

The conference was a contribution to the United Kingdom programme of activities to mark European Wetlands Campaign Year 1976. The aim of the conference was to bring together representatives of as many as possible of the main users of wetlands, in order to expound their various demands on wetlands to discover conflicts of interest between them, in the hope that such conflicts could be minimised and harmony promoted.

The aim of this conference was to focus attention on the third force of charities pursuing environmental ends through owning and managing land and buildings bringing together bodies using similar approaches in different fields, with different styles and on different scales.

This report was produced for Industry Year and contains additional material. It describes a number of successful efforts by industrial companies to protect and improve the environment, and it points out the need for the greatest care if risks of damaging the environment are to be avoided. The event was sponsored by British Midland, British Railways Board, Central Electricity Generating Board and Ready-Mixed Concrete Ltd.

The aim of the conference, which took place in the context of a grave general economic situation and a critical time for the forestry industry, was to see how important wood production industry might be promoted in reconciliation with the needs of nature conservation and amenity, and to what extent these objectives might be achieved within the framework of current and adumbrated taxation legislation.
