The Royal Asiatic Society moved into the premises, 14 Grafton Street, in 1824 and remained there until 1848. Unfortunately no original archival material remains dating from this time, but there are historic photographs, plans of the premises and some accumulated research notes among the material connected to 14 Grafton Street.

Six letters from William Macbean George Colebrooke to Sir Alexander Johnston in which he corresponds, among other things, concerning the beginnings of the Asiatic Society in London.

A bound volume containing copies of letters sent in the administration of the Society between the years 1823-1835 and 1846-1861. The earlier ones, covering 1823-1835, are all concerned with the finances of the Society. There is then a break in the letters until 1846, after which the correspondence covers a broader spectrum of activities.

Two items:

• "The Library [and Museum] of the Royal Asiatic Society" - research notes concerning acquisition of items and care of the collections in the time period 1824-1831. 14 typed sheets, 2 handwritten sheets, undated.

The patronage material includes original Charters and royal letters, and institutional correspondence concerning the Patronage of the Society.
