Sherlock Monthly Archive
Our Sherlock Mondays Biblioventure was such a success, we continued our exploration of the Sherlockian canon with Sherlock Monthly. Every month, we focus on one Sherlock Holmes adventure in the order they were first published, hosted by Edward G. Pettit and, each month, co-hosted by a different Sherlockian expert. Whether you are a seasoned Sherlockian who has read the entire canon, or an aficionado of the various screen portrayals of Sherlock, all are welcome to this one-of-a-kind Biblioventures series.
The Rosenbach holds in its collection first editions of some of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes books, as well as the handwritten manuscript of “The Adventure of the Empty House.” Our founder, Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach, was deeply committed to mystery and crime literature, corresponded with the famous Sherlockian and founder of the Baker Street Irregulars, Christopher Morley, and once purchased Doyle’s personal crime library.
This series aired live from November 16, 2024 through June 21 2025.
