Publications

Transactions of the Royal Scottish Society of Arts

The Society produced Transactions between 1841 and 1927. These have been digitised and made available by the National Library of Scotland https://digital.nls.uk/transactions-of-the-royal-scottish-society-of-arts/archive/.

Edinburgh Journal of Science, Technology and Photographic Art

From 1926 this journal included the Society's transactions along with those of the Edinburgh Photographical Society. At various stages it included the Edinburgh & District Radio Society, the Edinburgh Electrical Society, the Edinburgh Association of Science and Arts, and the Electrical Association for Women. From 1949 it was Edinburgh Journal of Science and Technology and was just documenting the activities of the RSSA.

These have not yet been digitised but are available for reference in the NLS. Please note, they are stored off-site so should be requested via the NLS website in advance.
