The 15th International Congress of Orientalists was held in Copenhagen in 1908. The material from this conference consists of two printed pamphlets: "Actes du Quinzième Congrès International des Orientalistes Session de Copenhague 1908" and "Appendice aux Actes du Quinzième Congrès International des Orientalistes Session de Copenhague 1908" detailing participants and programme for the Congress. These were published in Copenhagen in 1909.

The International Congress of Orientalists, initiated in Paris in 1873, was an international conference of Orientalists. It was later renamed as the International Congress of Human Sciences in Asia and North Africa and then as the International Congress of Asian and North African Studies. This material covers the interaction of the Royal Asiatic Society with the Congress in the time period 1889 to 1993.
