The Royal Asiatic Society was founded in 1823 and received its Royal Charter

and for the encouragement of science, literature and the arts in relation to
Asia'. The Library http://www.royalasiaticsociety.org/site/?q=taxonomy/term/3
contains books and journals on a wide variety of subjects concerning Asia,
including the Middle East and, to a lesser extent, Islamic North Africa. The
Collections include Persian, Arabic, Pali, Sanskrit, Malay and Javanese
manuscripts. Most of the resources are in the area of the humanities. Sciences
and ethnography are covered only peripherally. The Library has provided SUNCAT
with just over 490 serial records.
