Fonds RAS COLL6 - Royal Asiatic Society Collections Catalogues and Handlists

In caring for the collections and making them accessible to researchers various lists and catalogues have been collated throughout the Society's history. Some of these have been published but many are unpublished or in draft form prior to publication. These have been kept as important sources of both information about the nature of the collections and also how the Society has historically organised them. Please note, however, that not all the items in the catalogues and lists are still within the Society's collections.

The catalogues and handlists were subdivided according to the types of material they describe. Thus:

• RAS COLL6/1 - General Catalogues and Handlists
• RAS COLL6/2 - Printed material
• RAS COLL6/3 - Manuscripts
• RAS COLL6/4 - Archives
• RAS COLL6/5 - Artworks
• RAS COLL6/6 - Photographs
• RAS COLL6/7 - Maps
• RAS COLL6/8 - Objects

Open. Some material is held electronically. This can be accessed in the Reading Room. 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.
