 | It was intended to be the British counterpart to the Asiatic Society of Calcutta, which had been founded in 1784, by the noted Sanskrit scholar and jurist Sir William Jones. |
| Due to the nature of the Society's close connection with the British Empire in the east, much of the work originating with the society has been focused on topics concerning the Indian subcontinent. |
| Currently, the President of the Society is Professor F.C.R. Robinson, the Patron is His Royal Highness The Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, and the editor of the Journal is Dr. Sarah Ansari, Royal Holloway. |
