The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) was founded in 1754 to embolden enterprise, enlarge science, refine art, improve our manufactures, and extend our commerce. Four of the signatories of the American Declaration of Independence were RSA members and Benjamin Franklin actively supported the work of the RSA.
