{{about|the literary society|the fictional characters |Baker Street Irregulars}}The Baker Street Irregulars is an organization of Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts founded in 1934 by Christopher Morley.[1] The nonprofit organization currently numbers some 300 individuals worldwide.[2] The group has published The Baker Street Journal — an "irregular quarterly of Sherlockiana" — since 1946.[1]

History

The BSI was an outgrowth of Christopher Morley's informal group, "3 Hours for Lunch" which discussed art and literature.[3] The first inaugural meeting of the BSI was held in 1934 at Christ Cella's restaurant in New York City.[4] Initial attendees included William Gillette, Vincent Starrett, Alexander Woollcott, and Gene Tunney.[3] Morley kept meetings quite irregular but after ceding leadership to Edgar W. Smith, meetings became more regular.[3][5]

In February 1934, Elmer Davis, a friend of Morley, authored a constitution for the group explaining their purpose and explaining that anyone who passed a certain test was eligible to join.[6] The May 1934 issue of Saturday Review of Literature featured the aforementioned "test" which was a crossword puzzle authored by Christopher Morley's younger brother, Frank.[6]

The organization long resisted admitting women, a policy which spawned a female-centered organization, the Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes.[5] In 1991,[3] the first female invested in the BSI was Dame Jean Conan Doyle.[7] This was followed by Katherine McMahon, the first woman to solve the crossword puzzle.[7] McMahon was followed by Edith Meiser,[7] author of numerous Holmesian radio scripts for The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

Members of the society participate in "the game"[8] which postulates that Holmes and Doctor Watson were real and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was merely Watson's "literary agent".[17]

Membership

Membership is by invitation only[5] based on criteria unknown to the public.[3] Members take on a name inspired by the canon[20] with the head of the organization known as "Wiggins".[3] Since its inception, the organization has only had 692 members.[9]

The Baker Street Journal

The original iteration of the BSJ was started in 1946 as an academic journal but it ceased in 1949.[3] In 1951, Edgar Smith began publishing it again as a quarterly; it has continued publication since that time.[3]

Scion societies

The BSI has spawned numerous "scion societies",[4] many of which are officially recognized by the BSI. The first was The Five Orange Pips of Westchester County, New York in 1935.[3] Independent Sherlockian groups include the Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes, the U.K.’s Sherlock Holmes Society of London, and Canada's The Bootmakers of Toronto.
