Mass Observation

I read a book recently that was the diaries of participation in this project at the time of the 2nd world war.

I was amazed to find that the project is still going (www.massobs.org) and is based at Sussex University.

Meanwhile, some of the participants have blogs at:

It makes interesting reading.

These blogs also refer to Mass Observation:
