- Summary:
- This large collection is primarily one of descriptions of individual films shown over the period, observations and interviews on their public reception. Many of these films were Government information 'shorts': M-O analyses were summarised and presented to the Ministry of Information as File Reports. General analyses of the industry, specific accounts of cinema attendances, volunteer reports and related ephemera were collected. Also included are questionnaires (1940-42) on shops and shopping habits as part of the reporting on the MOI film Rush Hour.
