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.
