Mass Observation Project (MOP) Database 1981+
Mass Observation Project (MOP) Database 1981+
This is a searchable, downloadable database for people wanting to identify available writing from writers contributing to the Mass Observation Project (MOP) 1981 onwards. The database is live, i.e. it is updated each time new work is deposited. It is a resource that provides potential users of the MOP archive with information about the biographical/demographic characteristics and writing behaviours of individual Mass Observation Project writers.
The database is designed to enable users to:
• Identify available writing of individual writers, or groups of writers, based on their individual characteristics, such as year of birth and gender.
• Identify available writing of individual writers, or groups of writers, based on their writing behaviour
• Search for available writing by theme/directive (see FAQs)
• Use tools that make simple demographic comparisons between writers and the broader population of the UK.
• Identify writers who have been serial responders
The data in this database can be downloaded to view, or manipulate, in Excel.
The database was developed as part of the ‘Defining the Mass Observation Project’ funded through the ESRC Secondary Data Analysis Initiative, and is a collaboration between the Mass Observation Archive, and the Universities of Southampton, Birmingham and Surrey.
