December 2010: We will soon have a new page to promote the collection via the popular social network site, Facebook.  'Fans' of the page will be able to post ideas, comments and start discussions on the collection.  They will also be able to add photos and videos related to Conan Doyle's works.  It will also be a great way to share our events and projects with a wider audience.  The Facebook page will be integrated directly with the new edition of this web site, coming in the early part of 2011.  The name of the new page is under wraps at the moment, but is sure to bring a smile to the faces of both Sherlock and Doyle fans.

November-December 2010: Our new Projects Officer is developing new visitor trails for use in the Conan Doyle exhibition at the city museum. The trails will have a variety of puzzles which visitors can solve by observing items in the display cabinets; there will be a specialist trail for the confirmed Conan Doyle/Sherlock Holmes fan. Those who complete the trail successfully will soon be able to download a completion certificate from this site.

New games and puzzles will appear soon on the web site which is also due for a major revamp in the new year - so watch this space!

20 November 2010: The Treasures of the Collection page has had a temporary revamp - you can now find all the images from previous months by clicking the appropriate link on the main page.
