Staff across the library service are involved in the large scale task of sorting and cataloguing the books which form a significant part of the collection.
This section contains all of Conan Doyle’s works, including first and early editions in many languages, derivative fiction, bound volumes and single issues of journals. There are also a large number of pamphlets and journals including newsletters of Sherlock Holmes groups in various countries.
A selection of the books from the collection, numbering approximately 900 volumes, have been recently made available for reference use in the Local Studies section of the Central Library in Portsmouth. No appointment is necessary.
