More about Mass Observation Online
Mass Observation was founded in 1937 by anthropologist Tom Harrisson, film-maker Humphrey Jennings and poet Charles Madge. As part of the project 500 volunteers from the general public recorded their dreams, hopes and fears, completed questionnaires or shared their views on particular topics.
This is an excellent database for anyone who wants an insight into the lifestyles and attitudes of the British public during the period 1937-1967. Discover what people ate, where they worked, what they wore, how they spent their time and the emotional impact of events at the time. The University Library currently subscribes to Modules I- II.
