The e-BSJ

We offer a complete run of The Baker Street Journal from its inception in 1946 through 2000 on four CD-ROMs in PDF format.  This set contains the full content of each issue, including text, illustrations, and advertisements.  See our BSJ on CD-ROM page for more details.

We also provide free indexes to the BSJ as PDF downloads (below) to aid in your Sherlockian research and to give you a sense of what's offered in the BSJ CD-ROM. 

Donald Redmond compiled these indexes.  The first covers 1946–1969 and the other spans 1970–1993.  The PDFs were created by scanning the original printed versions.  While these files are text-searchable, they do have OCR errors and are best consulted manually.  See Randall Stock's web pages BSJ Index Subject Searches and BSJ Author/Title searches for tips on using these indexes.

Feel free to download one or both of these BSJ Index volumes for your personal use only.
