"Reading Don's Mail: Some Archival Insights on Collectors and Collecting"
Curators and archivists spend a lot of time reading other people's mail. In the process, we start to get a sense of the person behind the papers, the spirit that motivates their collecting. We may never fully grasp the fullness of mind or generosity of heart as we arrange and process a collection, but every now and then we get a galactic glimpse.

"Life in the Past Lane: Colligo Ergo Sum (I Collect Therefore I Am)"
The collectors in the Canon – however flawed as human beings – are passionate about their collections, while collectors of Sherlockian and Doylean ephemera, including Barbara Rusch, are equally obsessive. The intriguing stories they reveal afford an unexpurgated glimpse into a world where it is always 1895.
