Sherlockian Library Collections
  • The University of Minnesota is home to the largest collection of artifacts related to Sherlock Holmes in the world. The Wilson Library collections feature many items that focus on Holmes as a cultural icon - including many original manuscripts as written by Arthur Conan Doyle, original Strand Magazines and items that were mentioned in the stories. The 221B room and collections are open to the public.
  • The Toronto Reference Library has one of the world's foremost collections of library materials devoted to the life and work of Arthur Conan Doyle. Much of the collection is devoted to Doyle's most famous character, Sherlock Holmes, and is housed in a room evoking 221B Baker Street.

General Links to the Victorian Period
The Sherlock Holmes stories are rich in historic detail about Victorian art, behavior, architecture, science, royalty, and geography at a time (the Industrial Revolution) when great social, economic and technological progress was made in the United Kingdom. The Sherlock Holmes "Canon" began publication in 1887 during the later part of the reign of Queen Victoria, a time marked by a great expansion of the British Empire, the foremost global power of the time.
  • Victorian Era England & Life of Victorians:  information on a wide variety of topics.
  • An interesting Victoriana site with a "study center" devoted to topics ranging from calling cards to recipes to needlework to gardens.
  • The Victorian Society: Americans dedicated to the protection, understanding, education, and enjoyment of our nineteenth century heritage. They sponsor events and symposia in different locations.
  • The Victorian Dictionary ... a guide to the social history of Victorian London. A splendid resource, including maps -- Holmes would have been proud.
  • Victorian Web... nothing to do with Moriarty, but many topics to browse: arts, science, philosophy, politics, society, gender issues, technology, and more.
