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.

There is a single letter from John Pinches, Medallist, to the Secretary of the Royal Asiatic Society to explain the restrictions on metals in the current situation and to give various options and estimates for possible casting of the Medal. Typed letter with printed letterhead, dated 1 May 1944.
