The Barwis-Holliday was established in 1977 by the donation of investments to the value of £690 by Major J.E. Barwis-Holliday and supplemented by a bequest of £1,000 from the estate of the donor. The income was to be used to finance a monetary award for a paper upon a Far-Eastern subject to be published in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society. These papers consist of material created in the administration and conferment of the award.

In January 2001 the Publications Committee of the Society decided to update the Barwis-Holliday Award to increase the prize-money to £250. The material in this series consists of correspondence and administrative documents concerned with the conferment of the Award since that time.
