Mass Observation

Yesterday's post was the bare bones of a diary entry I sent on line to the Mass Observation Archives at Susse University.  Many years ago I read a book by Naomi Mitchison called "Among You Taking Notes"  which was a wartine diary of WW2  that she wrote at the request of  MO Project so I was interested to read their request to record the diary especially as May 12th was a day of family celebration.  It all started in 1937 asking people to write about their day in Britain.  It stopped after a few years but has now been revived.  It had the reputation for being left wing.  Politics apart I found it interesting.  I have always had an interest in diaries.
