Royal Asiatic Society: 160th Anniversary Celebrations

In 1983 the Royal Asiatic Society celebrated its 160th Anniversary with a lecture, concert and Vin d'honnuer. There is a small amount of publicity material and correspondence related to this celebration.

The material was divided into two series for the publicity material and for correspondence.
