Historia administrativa

The Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong was founded in 1847, growing out of a Medico-Chirurgical Society founded in 1845. It ceased to exist in 1859. However in 1959, it was re-established with the Inaugural Meeting held on April 7, 1960, in the Loke Yew Hall of the University of Hong Kong. It still exists to encourage an active interest in East Asia, and in Hong Kong in particular, through lectures and discussions, overseas visits, and by publishing an annual Journal.

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.
