From Mr Wheeler, 11/4/1958

The Society of Artists of Great Britain went on to found the Royal Academy. The group formed after the 1760 exhibition, when there was a dispute over how the proceeds from the sale of the exhibition catalogue should be spent.

These are largely records of decisions taken on general policy and administration. They also contain confirmations or rejections of reports from committees. The Society minutes finish in 1925, and thereafter the Council dealt with the adminstrative matters of the Society. The last set of Society minutes for 1924-1925 can be found in the volume RSA/AD/MA/100/12/05/01. After this, the volume recorded AGM minutes.
