In 1965, Adrian Conan Doyle bought the fairytale Swiss castle of Lucens in the canton of Vaud where he founded the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Foundation to house his family’s papers and promote his father’s life and work. In the decades following Adrian’s death, the collection passed between public and private hands, eventually reopening as a museum in 2001. In 2021, Laurence Pernet took on the daunting task of reorganising the collection. In this talk, Laurence will provide the history of the Lausanne Collection, showcase its variety, and highlight some of the amazing artefacts of fascination to fans and scholars alike.
