This collection consists of seven leather bound portfolios containing topographical drawings, maps, floor plans, notes and papers that the West brothers had created when working in the Maharashtra region of India in the mid to late 1800's. The main focus of the collection is the Kanheri Caves; a group of over 109 rock cut temples located in what is today the Sanjay Gandhi National Park on the western outskirts of Mumbai. The brothers studied these caves over the course of several decades, returning to the site many times to check and amend measurements, locations, and expand open their interpretation of the site. The remainder of the collection covers several other sites such as: Ajanta, Ellora and Daulatabad.

The Society had a tradition of including a list of members in its Journal to encourage communications between members. These give the names of those serving on the Council and committees, and the names of the Society's officers, and list all members' names, addresses, the year in which they were elected and their type of membership in a given year. Members who have resigned, passed away in the past year or fail to pay their subscriptions for a given period are removed from the list.

Starting from 1930s the list was published separately from the Journal in a pamphlet form. This series primarily contains these printed pamphlets and other lists of members prepared by the Society's officers for administrative purposes over the years.

This series contains correspondence between the Society and its members as well as other individuals relating to members and membership.

Historically, anyone who was desirous of becoming a member of the Society must secure a proposal by current member(s) when submitting an application. This series contains the papers submitted by individuals for applying membership and lists of applicants prepared for the Council meetings, where applications are reviewed and new members are elected.

The Society has, and continues to, run its membership on a subscription basis, with members paying different subscription rates according to their types of membership. Historically, the first payment of subscription was due on election, and then annually on the first date of January of each year. This series contains the bound volumes of ledgers recording these subscription payments from members. There is only one ledger dating to the 19th century, covering the period from 1823 to 1838. The remaining volumes date from 1924 to the late 20th century, and the volume for 1977-1988 is wanting.
