One pamphlet, ca. 1920, entitled Industrial Art: For All of the Children of All the People, by Elizabeth V. Colburn -- a reprint of "Monograph from The National School Digest", Minneapolis, Minnesota. This 8-page pamphlet has the appearance of a newsletter, and is illustrated with black and white reproductions of artwork. The text is a discussion of the use of color theory within the public schools, and is divided into grade-level sections: "Grade 1. The Primary Colors"; Grades 2-3. The Binary Colors"; "Grade 4. Tints"; "Grade 5. Shades"; "Grades 6, 7 and 8. Complimentary and Analogous Harmonies." The last page lists materials needed for each class and advertises for Industrial Art Monographs, which appears to be a monthly feature within The National School Digest.

The National Association for the Advancement of Art and its Application to Industry (NAAAI) was formed in 1887 with the specific the purpose of holding an annual Congress in the principal manufacturing towns in the UK to "discuss problems of a practical nature connected with the welfare of the Arts, Fine and Applied". The NAAAI subsequently held congresses in Liverpool (1888), Edinburgh (1889), and Birmingham (1890) of which these are the Liverpool transactions. The Transactions contain essays by William Morris, Walter Crane, Christopher Whall, J.D. Sedding, C.R. Ashbee, T.J. Cobden-Sanderson, Emery-Walker, W. Holman Hunt, John Brett, Heywood Sumner, Lewis F. Day, Patrick Geddes, Selwyn Image, Stanhope Forbes, , G.F. Watts, A.H. Mackmurdo, Henry Holiday, W.S. Frith, etc. The NAAAI folded soon after the Birmingham Congress. There were plans to hold a congress in November 1891, however, this never materialized.
