The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland was founded by the eminent Sanskrit scholar Sir Henry Thomas Colebrooke on the 15th March 1823. It received its Royal Charter from King George IV on the 11th August 1824 'for the investigation of subjects connected with and for the encouragement of science, literature and the arts in relation to Asia'. It continues as a forum for those who are interested in the languages, cultures and history of Asia to meet and exchange ideas.

Letter from Reinhold Rost, Secretary of Royal Asiatic Society, to H. Merivale, His Majesty's Under Secretary of State for India, to ask whether the collections constituting the Society's Oriental Museum may be placed in safe custody at the India Museum due to the imminent move of the Society from its premises in New Burlington Street to smaller premises in Albermarle Street. The request is for temporary accommodation with the hope that amalgamation of the two collections may be approved in the future. Typed letter, 2 pages, dated 16 February 1869.
