| Background Information | The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland (RAS) describes itself as providing "a forum for those who are interested in the history, languages, cultures and religions of Asia to meet and exchange ideas." Alongside lecture and seminar programmes, the Society maintains a significant library, and publishes the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society. The thrust of the Society's work is historical rather than contemporary, and indeed has a policy of not publishing articles or having lectures on events of the last 30 years. Charity no. 209629, company no. RC000737. Sources: www.royalasiaticsociety.org; contact with NGO, April 2007 |
