The Mass Observation Archive specialises in material about everyday life in Britain. It contains papers generated by the original Mass Observation social research organisation (1937 to early 1950s), and newer material collected continuously since 1981 (Mass Observation Project). The Archive is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in the care of the University of Sussex. It is housed at The Keep as part of the University's Special Collections.

The Mass Observation Archive hosts an active public engagement programme and is able to arrange talks, workshops and teaching sessions. We welcome enquiries about visits from individuals and groups as well as those about collaborating with Mass Observation for research and community projects.
