TORISTS INTERNATIONAL s.s.

A  Chicago-based Sherlockian scion founded on March 27, 1987 by Donald B. Izban BSI, Anthony Citera (deceased) and Fred Levin BSI (deceased)

Purpose

We are a scion society affiliated with Baker Street Irregulars. We meet quarterly "for the game's own sake.

What we DO

We gather quarterly for the sake of the game to advance the study of Sherlockiania and all of its aspects. We have presented and will continue to present speakers on various topics related to Sherlock Holmes and the Victorian age.   We post those discussions on our Youtube channel and also post, when possible, the text of those presentations on this website.

AN INVITATION TO ONE AND ALL TO JOIN US FOR AN EVENING WITH DAVID HARNOIS B.S.I.

David, invested in the B.S.I. as James Boswell in 2023, directs a podcast whose goal is to present the entire Canon as free audio dramatizations.

While iamlostwithoutmyboswell.com is a great listen, seeing him is even better.
