The Royal Asiatic Society has operated as a membership organisation since its founding. This collection contains records relating to the Society's membership, including administrative and financial documents such as membership lists and subscriptions ledgers, papers relating to membership application and election, as well as other textual and visual material which came into the Society's holdings as a result of its interaction with members.

The relationship between the Society and its members is further documented in this collection through letters, notices and other communications such as newsletters.

The Society had a tradition of including a list of members in its Journal to encourage communications between members. These give the names of those serving on the Council and committees, and the names of the Society's officers, and list all members' names, addresses, the year in which they were elected and their type of membership in a given year. Members who have resigned, passed away in the past year or fail to pay their subscriptions for a given period are removed from the list.

Starting from 1930s the list was published separately from the Journal in a pamphlet form. This series primarily contains these printed pamphlets and other lists of members prepared by the Society's officers for administrative purposes over the years.
