Located in Elmer L. Andersen Library, the University of Minnesota’s Sherlock Holmes Collections is the world’s largest archive dedicated to the fictional sleuth and author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Boasting over 60,000 items, the collection includes everything from original manuscripts to board games and Sherlock-themed toys. Established in 1947 by five Sherlock enthusiasts affiliated with the university, known as the “Norwegian Explorers,” this archive has been growing ever since.
