The bulk of the recommendations contained in this reading list are published by [http://www.bacsa.org.uk/ British Association for Cemeteries in South Asia] ([[BACSA]]), which is is the primary organisation collating transcripts of inscriptions from churches and graveyards across Asia. In addition to their published material, the archive containing all of BACSA's transcripts is deposited in the private papers collection (shelf mark Mss Eur F370) at the [[British Library]], where it may be consulted by readers. The catalogue of the archive folders is available [http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/indiaofficeselect/welcome.asp online].
