(The ACD Collection officially opened late in 1971, and the Bootmakers became a thing a few months later.)  <br /><br /> The Bootmakers will co-sponsor the Jubilee event along with the <a href="http://acdfriends.org" target="_blank">Friends of the ACD Collection</a>, a group that raises money and awareness as a unit of the Toronto Public Library Foundation.   <br /><br /><br /><br /> The Friends were in the spotlight a few months ago, when (for the second year in a row) their flagship event, the <b>Cameron Hollyer Memorial Lecture</b>, took place online because of public health restrictions. The speaker was playwright Jeffrey Hatcher, who has put Sherlock Holmes on the stage more than once, was invested in the Baker Street Irregulars in 2018 as "The Five Orange Pips," and incidentally gave <a href="http://www.bsitrust.org/2017/06/the-2016-bsi-dinner.html" target="_blank">another major lecture</a>, this one for the BSI itself, in New York in January 2016.  <br /><br /><br /><br /> The Friends event has been a fixture for more than twenty years now, but this year I noticed that not a great deal was said on the Zoom presentation about Cameron Hollyer himself, whose name it honors. That name will be familiar to most people in the Sherlockian world, no doubt, but possibly there are some — especially those who have joined our ranks since Cameron died in the summer of 2000 — who may know little or nothing about him.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjtssYikacaCnQeMPikhvXH-JuM9CPJwG9pCCwxabwDULkde9ENPpBn20-IeA96pd4Z4Up2AjUapObhHn4W5iY-evtsV3uKm4o66P7v7nqoOC8zIFwyYGNobIKqSKxYfW1jbm9xJB6VLOfFlafGd9e9-UXFH4kb3bCGE8kT6fDjHgoXkMm1P_pwN4FDQ/s3327/Cameron%20Hollyer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2015" data-original-width="3327" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjtssYikacaCnQeMPikhvXH-JuM9CPJwG9pCCwxabwDULkde9ENPpBn20-IeA96pd4Z4Up2AjUapObhHn4W5iY-evtsV3uKm4o66P7v7nqoOC8zIFwyYGNobIKqSKxYfW1jbm9xJB6VLOfFlafGd9e9-UXFH4kb3bCGE8kT6fDjHgoXkMm1P_pwN4FDQ/w640-h388/Cameron%20Hollyer.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Cameron Hollyer (image credit: <a href="http://www.acdfriends.org/images/Cameron.jpg">Friends of the Arthur Conan Doyle Collection</a>)</span></i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Cameron Hollyer (1926 – 2000)</h3> He was the curator of the Arthur Conan Doyle Collection from the time it was created at what was then the Metropolitan Toronto Library in 1971 until his retirement twenty years later. He was also a Sherlockian scholar of note, a friend to just about everyone who crossed his path, and such a representative of Sherlock Holmes that when Colorado State University decided to award Mr. Holmes an honorary degree, Cameron was invited to show up (in deerstalker and Inverness) to accept it on his behalf.  <br /><br /> Said one tribute in <i><a href="https://www.torontobootmakers.com/canadian-holmes/" target="_blank">Canadian Holmes</a></i>, the magazine of the Bootmakers of Toronto, in 1991: </div><blockquote><div>"Though he has never been our president — for it seems generally acknowledged that his talents lie elsewhere than in administrative efficiency — he has always been our presiding genius."</div></blockquote><div><br /></div><div>His many contributions were traced by several writers in that issue of <i>Canadian Holmes</i> on the occasion of his retirement, as well as in his own reminiscence, "The Curator's Egg," an informal history of the Toronto collection. </div><div><br /></div><div>Born in 1926, he joined the staff of the Toronto library as a young man, and in 1969 was involved in the inspired decision to form an Arthur Conan Doyle collection, as well as the 1971 <b>Weekend with Sherlock Holmes</b> that launched it. </div><div><br /></div><div>He was subsequently not only an influential Bootmaker but a respected figure across the Sherlockian world, known for his gentle humour, his kindness, his way with words, and his vast knowledge.  <br /><br /> When I had the opportunity to give the Cameron Hollyer Memorial Lecture at the Toronto library in 2005, I said a few words about the man whose name it bears:</div><blockquote><div>"It is not easy, for me at least, to separate the atmosphere of the Arthur Conan Doyle Room here from the image of Cameron Hollyer, tall, stooped and tobacco-stained, ready with information and anecdote and literary allusion. He once told a story of a visitor, not exactly one of the initiates, who wandered into the ACD Room, spotted Cameron and asked in something like awe, 'Are you Arthur Conan Doyle?' Cameron, who did not like to say no to anybody, decided to temporize. 'What does it say on the door?' he asked, and the visitor nodded in satisfaction — and, fortunately, wandered out again.   <br /><br /> "Cameron did not look like the broad and beefy Conan Doyle, or share his booming voice and sporting tastes, and it is something of a wonder that Cameron ended up specializing in the life and work of a man so unlike him. We will perhaps appreciate Cameron best if we remember that before he was a Doylean, he was an authority on twentieth-century American literature, a product of that erudite alma mater, the Harvard College of the 1950s."</div></blockquote><div><br /></div><div>Members of Cameron's family have attended many of the annual lectures over the past two decades — members of his family by blood, I mean; for those of us who are Sherlockians, certainly those who are Canadian Sherlockians, are all members of Cameron Hollyer's family.  <br /><br /> Jubilee @ 221B is scheduled for September 23 – 25, 2002, at the Toronto Reference Library in downtown Toronto. <b>Nicholas Meyer</b> has been announced as the keynote speaker, and other information is coming out bit by bit through the Friends' website and on other Sherlockian media.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: left;"><i>Some related I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere episodes:</i></h4><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://ihose.co/ihose121" target="_blank">Episode 121: Canada and Sherlock Holmes</a></li><li><a href="https://ihose.co/ihose129" target="_blank">Episode 129: Pop Sherlock</a></li><li><a href="https://ihose.co/ihose212" target="_blank">Episode 212: All Things ACD</a></li><li><a href="https://ihose.co/ihose218" target="_blank">Episode 218: Arthur Conan Doyle, Sportsman</a></li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>--</div><div><br /><br /></div>

<br /></div>
<br />
As you no doubt have noticed today is 2/21 (for those who write dates in the style of DD/MM). That corresponds to 221B — get it?<br />
<br />
As such, we thought it was an apt time to take a look back at a January 2010 entry in  <i>Smithsonian</i>: "<a href="http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/Sherlock-Holmes-London.html">Sherlock Holmes' London</a>."<br />
<br />
The piece opens with a description of a 30 year-old Arthur Conan Doyle heading into London from his Southsea home to attend a dinner with the publisher of <i>Lippincott's</i> with none other than Oscar Wilde in attendance. The dinner was auspicious in that it resulted in two commissions: Wilde's <b><i><a href="https://amzn.to/2v5NFUr">The Picture of Dorian Gray</a></i></b> and Conan Doyle's <b><i><a href="https://amzn.to/2umxnX6">The Sign of Four</a></i></b>. But for the purpose of the article, it was even more significant that it took place at the Langham Hotel, which itself turned up in no fewer than three Sherlock Holmes stories (Quick! Which three? Comments below, please.).<br />
<br />
The article covers a bit about Conan Doyle's life and the ongoing life that has sprung from his most famous creation, but then also covers another character in his stories — one that plays a constant supporting, if transparent, role: the city itself. Conan Doyle's mastery of the language in order to effectively set the scene is readily observed in this passage from The Sign of Four - that novel born from the very dinner at the Langham:<br />
<blockquote>
"It was a September evening, and not yet seven o'clock, but the day had been a dreary one, and a dense drizzly fog lay low upon the great city. Mud-coloured clouds drooped sadly over the muddy streets. Down the Strand the lamps were but misty splotches of diffused light, which threw a feeble circular glimmer upon the slimy pavement. The yellow glare from the shop-windows streamed out into the steamy, vaporous air, and threw a murky, shifting radiance across the crowded thoroughfare. There was, to my mind, something eerie and ghost-like in the endless procession of faces which flitted across these narrow bars of light - sad faces and glad, haggard and merry. Like all human kind, they flitted from the gloom into the light, and so back into the gloom once more."</blockquote>
And while those ghostly gas-lamps no longer fail at 20 feet, the piece takes us through London past and present, through the Holmes stories and Conan Doyle's life. Naturally, there's a stop at 221B. And even helpful commentary from longtime reader and <a href="http://www.sherlock-holmes.org.uk/">Sherlock Holmes Society of London</a> member Roger Johnson. We highly recommend you <a href="http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/Sherlock-Holmes-London.html">check out the article</a> — especially if you're planning a pilgrimage to London and wish to visit some of the highlights.<br />
<br />
You might also get yourself a copy of Thomas Bruce Wheeler's <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2TgFLzZ">The Mapped London of Sherlock Holmes</a></i>, a step-by-step guide of the London of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Or <i><a href="https://amzn.to/2HJJbFP">Sherlock Holmes's London</a></i>, a high-level overview of many areas of the city.<br />
