What types of things are in the collection?
The collection is breathtaking in its scope. Not only is there a collection of approximately 5,000 Doyle family photographs, artefacts and original papers but the collection also reflects the life, times and works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Therefore we have material covering the dramatisation of his works, spiritualism and spiritualist photographs, the wider Victorian and Edwardian World, worldwide groups and societies, the development of the iconic Sherlock Holmes figure, scrapbooks, newspapers and magazines, first and rare editions and sale catalogues. We also have a vast amount of papers relating to Richard Lancelyn Green’s life and work as one of the world’s foremost Doylean experts.
