The papers of Bhagwan Lal Indraji consist of a large leather-bound notebook bequeathed by Bhagwan Lal to the Royal Asiatic Society. Though the book bears a title of "Flora of the North West Provinces and the Kuyaub by the author", the majority of the notes seem to be more concerned with Bhagwan Lal's archaeological and historical interests including dynastic information, translations of inscriptions on slabs and coins, and notes concerning archaeological sites. The book contains writing in both Hindi (Kaithi script) and English. There is evidence that some of the information has been copied from articles made available to Bhagwan Lal.

The book is in poor condition. The spine is no longer present. The boards are only loosely attached to the binding and their layers are disintegrating. Several pages are also loose from the binding. Several sheets of paper are inserted into the book which bear additional notes.
