The records of the Gold Medal cover the institution of the medal and the conferment of the Honour in subsequent years. They include examples of the medal, the original Declaration of Trust, and subsequent printed version of the declaration, correspondence and newspaper cuttings. However there are not records for all instances of the presentation of the Medal. Researchers are advised to also examine the Council Minutes and the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society (both held in the RAS Collections) when researching concerning the Gold Medal and its recipients.

The material in this series includes correspondence regarding the conferment of the medal, regarding the purchasing and making of the medal, with Aurel Stein, with press agencies, an invitation to the occasion of the presentation of the medal, and press cuttings regarding the event.
