The Royal Asiatic Society has produced a Journal from the early years of its formation and continues to do so. This material covers the records made in the production, administration and distribution of the Journal.

The printing of the Journal went to Stephen Austin and Sons, Ltd. in the late 1800s. This series contains some later correspondence between the printers and the Society.
