Our Hidden Lives and The Mass Observation Archive
In Our Hidden Lives, author Simon Garfield has interwoven the diaries of
five people writing from 1945?48, ranging from a retired engineer in London
to a gay antiques collector in Edinburgh, and has produced a wonderful
portrait of this often overlooked period. He will talk about editing the
diaries and will read extracts.
Dorothy Sheridan, director of the Mass Observation Archive, will talk about
the writing done by the volunteer Mass-Observers as diarists in the early
period 1937?67 and compare them with the contributors to the new M-O
project which started in 1981 and continues to the present day. What
motivates them, how do they write and how is their writing used?
