Minutes of General Meetings: There were 10 meetings in the first year, subsequently 15 meetings each year with an extended summer break. An Anniversary meeting was held in the March at which the Council and Officers are elected, a review of the year given and the finances discussed. Initially meetings were held in either the Thatch House Tavern in St James's Street or Willis' Rooms, King Street, St James, but by 17 January 1824 the Society was housed in Grafton Street. The Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland became the Royal Asiatic Society as from 7 June 1823. On 19 June 1824 the first volume of the Society's Transactions is mentioned. By the end of this period the Society had both a Library and Museum.

Minutes of General meetings. At the Anniversary Meeting in May 1836 it was noted that a Committee of Agriculture and Commerce was suggested and several members agreed to make contributions to finance this committee. At a Special meeting in July, Article 49 regarding subscriptions was amended so that all members could pay annually. In December the Society's funds being inadequate for the purpose contemplated by the Society, General Worsley subscribed £100 and begged members to donate their subscriptions for a year. At the Anniversary Meeting in 1837, Professor H. H. Wilson became Director of the Society in succession to Henry Colebrooke, deceased. In July, the Society was informed by letter that General Worsley was giving the Society £1,000 to be used at the discretion of the Council. It was recorded that a bust should be commissioned to be paid for by members. In July, it was confirmed that Queen Victoria had consented to be Patron of the Society. At a Special meeting in January 1838, ways in which defaulting members should be treated were considered.
