===Standing Orders===
*[http://books.google.com/books?id=JUQIAAAAQAAJ&pg=PP9 ''Standing Orders of the East India Company's Depot''] 1852 Google Books.
The British Library has editions from 1880 under the title ''The Official Army List for the quarter ending ...'' (UIN: BLL01001094690). From 1913-1922 the title was ''The Quarterly Army List for the quarter ending..'' (UIN: BLL01001094691).
''The Quarterly Army List'' was also published July 1940-Dec. 1950 (UIN: BLL01001094682). From 1923-1950 the title was ''The Half-Yearly Army List for the half-year ending ...'' (UIN: BLL01001094692)

==''Monthly Army List''==
An official War Office publication, which commenced August 1881 and ceased after May 1940. (No issues published for Dec. 1897 and Jan. 1898). Based on library catalogues, Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford, and the National Library of Scotland may have the best collections. The British Library holds a broken range of editions from October 1881 (UIN: BLL01013821218). The National Archives also holds Monthly Lists which are part of the Library collection<ref>David_Underdown.

Retrieved 9 June 2018.</ref>, however the date range is unclear. The [[National Army Museum]] appears to hold a limited number of editions before and after the WW1 period.
For at least some war periods a Confidential or "Security Edition" was also published with known editions August 1939 (available online) and September 1939, and it seems possible that ''Monthly List''s may have been continued after May 1940, to 1943, solely on a Confidential basis.<ref>From a comment in the British Library catalogue UIN: BLL01001094682 .</ref>
Digitised editions:

Most digital files appear to contain two monthly Lists. Personal experience was that a file was slow to download. Note these are copies of Google Book files, so those in North America etc may be able to find the Google Books file, and read online and search.

*In mid September 2016, the National Library of Scotland released its digitised collection of ''Monthly Army List''s which cover the periods 1914-1919 and 1937-1940. As mentioned above, temporary officers and territorial officers are only to be found in the ''Monthly Army List''s.
