It is unknown how these notebooks came into the possession of the Royal Asiatic Society. Some of the notebooks had been housed with the manuscript material of George Edward Fryer, but they do not belong to him. They are of a later date.

The author of these notebooks is unknown. They contain no identifying material and the handwriting has not been identified.

It would appear these notebooks were once part of a larger collection as not all volumes are present in particular sets.

This material was catalogued by Nancy Charley, RAS Archivist, in 2019.
