These can be classed as a special collection which do not fit in with the rest of the archive catalogue, part of an image database project. Contains images which support articles in the Journal.' Victoria Killick 2000-2001.

These were produced during the 2nd half of the 20th century for talks, lectures, publications etc given by RSA Archive and library staff. It is an artificially created collection and is not part of the rest of the archive as a whole. It is not known why these were catalogued (as part of the HLF funded project in 1997), and many are images of items not in the RSA collection. Many are also copyrighted.
