Arquivo SC2 - Notebooks on India

12 notebooks handwritten

It is unknown to whom these notebooks belonged.

It is unknown how these notebooks came into the possession of the Royal Asiatic Society. Some of the notebooks had been housed with the manuscript material of George Edward Fryer, but they do not belong to him. They are of a later date.

Twelve notebooks containing the author's notes on India, its religions and inscriptions, mainly extracts from, and comments upon, published authors' works.

The material was divided according to the titles of the volumes thus:

• SC2/1 - Hindu and Early Indian
• SC2/2 - Indian Mahommedan
• SC2/3 - Islamic
• SC2/4 - Inscriptions
• SC2/5 - Miscellaneous
• SC2/6 - Buddhism

Open. Please contact the archivist using the email address given here. The archive is open on Tuesdays and Fridays 10-5, and Thursdays 2-5. Access is to any researcher without appointment but it will help if an appointment is made via phone or email. Please bring photo ID

It would appear these notebooks were once part of a larger collection as not all volumes are present in particular sets.

This material was catalogued by Nancy Charley, RAS Archivist, in 2019.
