The Religious Tract Society received their award in the class for printing and books. The Society was a British evangelical Christian organization founded in 1799. It had a branch in Victoria in Australia. It engaged in charity work as well operating as a commercial enterprise publishing books and periodicals for profit. In 1935 the Society merged with another similar group and became the United Society for Christian Literature.
