==Library, archive, and collections==
The Royal Academy has an important collection of books, archives and works of art accessible for research and display. A large part of these collections have been digitised and can be investigated through the Collection website. See
The first president of the Royal Academy, [[Joshua Reynolds|Sir Joshua Reynolds]], laid the foundation of the Royal Academy collection with the gift of his famous Self-portrait. This was followed by gifts from other artists who founded the Academy, such as Gainsborough and Benjamin West. Subsequently each elected Member was required to donate an artwork (known as a Diploma Work) typical of their artistic output, and this practice continues today. These Diploma Works include sculpture by [[John Flaxman]], [[Hamo Thornycroft]] and Phillip King and paintings by [[J. M. W. Turner]], [[John Constable]], [[Lawrence Alma-Tadema]] and [[David Hockney]]. Additional donations and purchases have resulted in a collection of approximately a thousand paintings and a thousand sculptures showing the linear development of a British School of art.
