Beginning with an overview of the Mass Observation Archive's history,
methodology and home-related collections, the day will focus on the practical
issues of using this rich resource through handling sessions and discussion.
The focus of the practical sessions will be material on objects about the
house from both the Archive's original and more recent holdings.
Tickets are £30/£20 (excluding lunch) and as places are strictly limited,
book early to avoid disappointment! The deadline for bookings is Monday 14
September.
Details, directions and booking form are attached.
