Visit

The Arthur Conan Doyle Richard Lancelyn Green Collection is split into 3 parts:

• Archives (photographs and documents)
• Books
• Objects

Each are housed separately in Portsmouth. Archives and Books are housed at the Central Library while objects are housed at Portsmouth Museum.

Many items have been catalogued and are, increasingly, being added to this website.
