Summary:

The Mass Observation Project was launched in 1981 by the University of Sussex as a rebirth of the original 1937 Mass Observation project. Its founders' aim was to document the social history of Britain by recruiting a team of observers and volunteers to write about their lives and opinions. This collection consists of the directives (questionnaires) sent out by Mass Observation between 1980 and 2010 and the thousands of responses to them from the hundreds of observers. Addressing topics such as the Falklands War, clothing, attitudes to the USA, reading and television habits, morality and religion, and Britain's relations with Europe, the directives and responses are an essential resource for anyone interested in late-twentieth and early twenty-first-century British social history. Broad themes covered include current events, friends and family, the home, leisure, politics, society, culture and the media, work, finance and the economy and new technology.
