In 1888 The National Association for the Advancement of Arts and its Application to Industry was founded for the purpose of holding an Annual Congress for the reading of papers on the application of Art to Industry. In 1906 it was decided to devote existing funds to an open Studentship for the promotion and encouragement of art. In 1928 the Trustees approached the Society with a view to the Trusteeship being taken over by the Society. Subsequently an Art Congress Studentship of the value of £50 was offered in connection with the Industrial Designs Competition of 1928.\n\nThree Trust Deeds or Deeds of Appointment. The first, dated 1 June 1912, concerns the appointment of a new Trustee; the second, dated 2 August 1906 concerns the foundation of 'The Art Congress Studentship'; and the last, dated 1 May 1928, concerns the appointment of the RSA as Trustees.

The Art Education Committee which was appointed in November 1941 to consider the place and purpose of art and design in the post-war system of education. The RSA's main concern was that while skilful manufacture had developed in every direction thre was a lack of display of artistic sense in industrial life and manufactures. The Society suggested that to hold a rightful place in the world's industry a high standard of art and design as well as craftmanship had to be achieved. This would not be possible unless the education system balanced its stress on developing intellectual powers with that of awakening of the senses.\n\nThe Committee held a series of interviews with the headmasters of art schools, industrialists and manufacturers the conculsions of which were compiled in a report of 28 May 1943 and forwarded to the President of the Board of Education. Oswald P. Milne was the Chairman of this Committee.

The Art for Architecture scheme, managed by the RSA, was a collaborative initiative with the Department of National Heritage. It was established with core funding from the Department of the Environment and restricted only to England initial. In 1992, the scheme was extended to Scottish applicants due to Scottish Office funding and similarly to Welsh applicants in 1993 due to Welsh Office funding. The scheme also had a number of private sponsors. Its objective was to enhance the urban environment by encouraging cross disciplinary approaches to building and landscape projects by appointing and providing funds for artists to work as part of a design team from the earliest stages of a development. Michael Wrotesley, DOE, conceived the idea, which stemmed from RSA Student Design Awards. The scheme has been operating since 1990.\n\nDirectly related to the Scheme was the Jerwood Art for Architecture Award. The Award is a financial reward, sponsored by The Jerwood Foundation, to recognise the project which on completion represents both excellence in artistic quality and design and best practice in collaboration. It was presented to the artist and architect, landscape engineer, who are working together. The Jerwood Award was introduced in 1994.\n\nRecords include administrative correspondence, printed items and publicity material, and photographs.

Project files contain records relating to projects which received an award from the RSA Art for Architecture scheme. Each file includes a grant application form and notification letter; correspondence, notes and reports detailing project progress; images in various formats; press information, publications and other sundry items regarding the artist(s), architects or other built environment professionals and their work. In some project files, one or more of the aforementioned items are missing due to loss. Additional images have been archived separately. Project No. 1 is the first project to receive a grant under the scheme, each project thereafter has been given the successive number. Publication grants are numbered separately, and will be recognised by the suffix (Pub) after the project number. Project No. 1 (Pub) is the first publication to receive a grant under the scheme. Project completion dates indicate the completion of the design stage and the artist's involvement in conjunction with the RSA Art for Architecture scheme.\n\nOne image from each project has been attached if such an image exists.
