The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland was founded by the eminent Sanskrit scholar Sir Henry Thomas Colebrooke on the 15th March 1823. It received its Royal Charter from King George IV on the 11th August 1824 'for the investigation of subjects connected with and for the encouragement of science, literature and the arts in relation to Asia'. It continues as a forum for those who are interested in the languages, cultures and history of Asia to meet and exchange ideas.

Âmbito e conteúdo
Four items of correspondence concerning Formosa manuscripts no longer in the possession of the Society. These are:
- Letter from the Japanese Embassy to present its compliments to the Royal Asiatic Society and to seek permission for Mr. Siichi Iwao, Assistant Professor at Taihoku Imperial University to visit the Society. Typed, 1 side, dated 1 April 1932.
- Letter from Siichi Iwao to the Royal Asiatic Society to ask whether nine sheets of Formosa manuscripts were available to be seen at the Society which had been donated by E. Colborne Baber. Handwritten, 2 pieces, dated 8 April 1932.
- Letter to Sir James Stewart Lockhart, Mr Hopkins, Mr Yett and Sir R. Johnston from Colonel Hoysted to ask about the manuscripts and whether they were borrowed by Dr. de Lacouperie and not returned to the Society on his death. Typed, 1 piece, dated 13 April 1932.
- Letter from Reginald Johnston to Colonel Hoysted to state that he felt it was strange that Dr. de Lacouperie was allowed to take the manuscripts away without a guarantee that they would be returned and that the Society in those days had shown slackness in not claiming them on his death. Handwritten, 1 piece, 2 sides, dated 26 April 1932.
