Volume 1, covering repositories in London, was published in 1989.

Most notably these are the collections of the India Office Library and Records (in Volume 1); the Cambridge Centre of South Asian Studies, Rhodes House Library in Oxford, and Churchill College Archive Centre in Cambridge (in Volume 2). Each volume contains a list of repositories.
