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.
