Description 

Our Sherlock Mondays Biblioventure was such a success, we’ve decided to continue exploring the Sherlockian canon with Sherlock Monthly. Every month, we’ll focus on one Sherlock Holmes adventure in the order they were first published. We’ll pick up where we left off, beginning with “The Norwood Builder,” hosted by Edward G. Pettit and, each month, co-hosted by a different Sherlockian expert. You can watch the livestreamed episodes on Saturday afternoons or the recordings on our YouTube channel.   

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.    

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 join in this one-of-a-kind Biblioventures series, live every month beginning November 16, 2024 and running until we finish the canon. Most months, the show will air on the third Saturday (some months may need to be adjusted).    

We’ve already covered the first 28 stories from A Study in Scarlet through “The Empty House,” and you can watch all of those episodes on our YouTube channel here: Sherlock Mondays Playlist 

You can find more information, including the PDFs of the 28 stories we’ve already discussed on our Sherlock Mondays homepage. And you can find information and the PDFs of the original published stories from our Hound of the Baskervilles series (which aired this past spring) here.   

Our schedule, to date, is listed below. (We’ll update this as we proceed.) 

We’ll also add PDFs of the stories as they were originally published.
