We are very pleased to announce that access to the Mass Observation Project is now available to Cambridge University members.
The Mass Observation Project (MOP) is a unique national life writing project about everyday life in Britain, capturing the experiences, thoughts and opinions of everyday people.
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 Mass Observers.
For help navigating the Mass Observation Project site please see their helpful user guides.
