An organisation of Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts, founded in 1934. The BSI, as it calls itself, is considered the preeminent Sherlockian group in the United States. There are also “scion societies” approved by the BSI in dozens of local communities. Most scion societies welcome new members, but the BSI does not accept applications for membership — instead, membership and the awarding of an “Irregular Shilling” comes as an honor to those who have made a name for themselves in local groups or in Sherlockian publications. The BSI has published The Baker Street Journal, an “irregular quarterly of Sherlockiana”, since 1946.
BAFTA 4 JB is also graciously supported by many scions of the Baker Street Irregulars, most notably:
THE NORTHERN MUSGRAVES: Founded in 1987.
THE RED-HEADED LEAGUE OF JERSEY: Based in the USA, it is an organization of Sherlock Holmes aficionados.
