A major American exhibition on Sherlock Holmes at Indiana University in 2001 now is available online! The "Bloomington by Gaslight" exhibit displays many of the Sherlock Holmes items featured in that event at the world-famous Lilly Library. Why was this exhibit at IU (located in Bloomington, Indiana)?
