The Documents section of the NSEAD archive is huge and contains more than a quarter of a million pages to reference. It contains the records of not only the formation of this organisation but also the records of a number of other societies and guilds that have chosen to merge with us over the last 140+ years. We hope that you enjoy and are amazed by the history of Art Education provided here.
These records have been merged and catalogued to enable teachers and researchers to access the references they contain, for these cover the major initiatives introduced into state operated art schools and schools during that period. From a small grouping of art schools seeking royal patronage in 1888 to societies seeking a fixed place for art activities in public schools following the second world war, and to the formation and introduction of the National Curriculum the papers cover the growing influence of Art Education in the United Kingdom. Before viewing the detailed and extensive full catalogue, a number of key elements have been selected to help you better understand and further reference the contents.
