| Description | "Documents, maps, art-work and photographic materials deposited with the Royal Society for Asian Affairs (RSAA). The RSAA archive is divided into three Sections: specific collections of material (designated by the reference RSAA/SC); photographic material used to illustrate lectures to the Society (designated RSAA/L); and a wide range of miscellaneous material (designated RSAA/M). The archive does not include administrative files of the Society [the Society's administrative records are in the keeping of the Society and non-members are encouraged to consult the Centenary History of the Society entitled Strolling About on the Roof of the World by Hugh Leach with Susan Farrington, published by Routledge Curzon in 2003].
Specific collections (RSAA/SC) includes material from: Lieut Col F M Bailey, Sir Charles Bell, C A V Bowra, E C M Bowra, John Duncan Vaughan Campbell (5th Earl Cawdor), Gen Sir Edward F Chapman, Col C H Ellis, Major Colin Metcalf Enriquez (pen-name, Theophilus), Col Sir William Everett, Sir Stuart Mitford Fraser, Lieut Robert Grindlay, Eric Kennington, the Shakespear family (predominantly, the papers of Sir Richmond Shakespear), Lieut Col R C F Schomberg, and John Claude White".
