Historical Information

The Baker Street Irregulars (as an organization) was founded in 1934 by Christopher Morley (and others), and continues to meet annually in New York City. (See Jon Lellenberg's multi-volume BSI Archival Series for a fuller historical treatment of the organization.) Local scion societies of the BSI are found world-wide, many of them producing newsletters or serial publications. John Bennett Shaw (1913-1994), possibly the pre-eminent Sherlockian collector, gathered most of these publications. Additions were made after the Shaw collection moved to the University of Minnesota.

Scope and Content Note

The collection contains perodicals produced by local scion societies of the Baker Street Irregulars.
