Public Benefit Statement
The Archive is a charitable trust in the care of the University of Sussex as part of the University’s Special Collections. The Archive seeks to benefit the wider community by providing the public with the opportunity to gain knowledge of everyday life in 20th and 21st Century Britain through access to the original Mass Observation social research organisation (1937 to early 1950s), and newer material collected continuously since 1981.
The Archive proactively engages in educational outreach with schools, Further and Higher Education institutions and the local and national community. This outreach provides the opportunity for intergenerational and interregional learning.
The Archive also provides the opportunity for people all over the UK to participate in the recording of their everyday lives, either through participation in the national Mass Observation Project and other related projects and partnerships, or through the donation of their personal papers and diaries to a publicly accessible archive.

1. Visits to the Archive
Physical Access
Research visits
The Mass Observation Archive was visited by 302 individuals, who made 1188 orders for material from the Archive. The number of physical visits made to the Archive declined slightly (Appendix fig.1), while the number of documents issued to these visitors increased (Appendix fig. 2). As with previous years, the number of visits made to Mass Observation Online grew (Appendix fig. 5). There was also an increase in the number of these visits made from users in the Reading Rooms at The Keep.
Group visits
This year, the Mass Observation Archive hosted 72 group visits (Appendix fig.3). These visits were attended by 1996 people and, of the groups who visited, 28 were from the University of Sussex. A list of groups who visited during 2015-2016 is available in Appendix fig. 4.
Online Access
Mass Observation Online
Researchers continue to be able to access parts of the Archive through the Adam Matthew product, Mass Observation Online. The publishers have reported that during the year, the resource was accessed 23,001 times. 7% of these visits were made by members of the University of Sussex (Appendix fig. 5).
Observing the 1980s
Directive responses written by Mass Observers during the 1980s continued to be made available through the open access website, Observing the 1980s. During the year, the site was visited 656 times by 617 unique visitors.
Other visits
Visitors to the Archive included Robert and Patricia Malcolmson who were researching for their various upcoming publications. Bill Swainson also visited the Mass Observation Archive to investigate the possibility of editing a Mass Observation anthology with David Kynaston. Martha Fogg from Adam Matthew Digital also visited the archive to discuss proposals for digitising material from the Mass Observation Project.

2. The Mass Observation Strategic Plan
The Trustees of the Archive launched a strategic plan (2016 -2021) for the Archive in spring 2016. The aim of this plan is to: define the distinctive role and direction of the Archive assist robust financial planning guide Trustees’ decision-making guide the Curator and staff team define the role of Trustees, staff and others
This plan is intended to guarantee the future of MOA as a growing public collection, accessible to all who wish to learn more about ourselves and preserved for future generations to study, understand and enjoy as a single collection.
A copy of the Mass Observation Archive Strategic Plan for 2016-2021 can be downloaded from the Archive’s website: www.massobs.org.uk/about/about-mo.
One of the priorities set out in this plan is to review the governance of the MOA. Sue Pearlman (TP Consultants) has been appointed as a consultant to carry out this review. Sue joined the Trustees at their meeting in June as an observer. She has also interviewed the Trustees’ Archive staff as part of her research into how the organisation operates. She is due to present her recommendations to the Trustees later in 2016.
3. Publishing guidelines
The Trustees publication group published new guidelines for those wishing to publish from the Archive. These guidelines were developed in consultation with the Archive’s literary agent, Gordon Wise (Curtis Brown) and can be accessed at www.massobs.org.uk/the-archive/referencing-and-publishing.
4. Mass Observation Project Database
In June 2016 a new database about the Mass Observation Project (1981+) was launched. This database enables researchers to discover more information about the MOP writers, including:
identify available writing of individuals, or groups of writers, based on biographical characteristics, such as birth, gender and occupation identify available writing of individual writers, or groups of writers, based on their writing behaviour search by theme or Directive title (open-ended questionnaire) identify writers who have been serial responders The database can be viewed at http://database.massobs.org.uk.
5
The database was developed as part of ‘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.
5. Academic Teaching
At the beginning of June, Fiona Courage and Jessica Scantlebury delivered a module called ‘Using Mass Observation’ to University of Sussex postgraduate students as part of an ESRC Doctoral School course. Fiona then assessed the module.
6. Education and outreach
Beyond Boxes (HLF funded)
The Archive will be working in partnership with Blind Veterans UK, the Brighton Housing Trust and Lewes Prison on a new HLF funded project which aims to open up access to the collection.
The two-year Beyond Boxes project began in September 2016 and is supported by the HLF with a grant of £51,300. The project aims to break down the barriers many people face in trying to use archives, be these physical, attitudinal or educational, to ensure that heritage is open to all.
The project will include a range of activities and events, such as a diary day in December for International Day of Disabled People, along with a programme of outreach and in-house workshops at The Keep. The project will also commission a number of Mass Observation Project Directives throughout its two-year life span. These will be sent to the Mass Observation Project Panel and completed by members of the community groups associated with Blind Veterans UK, the Brighton Housing Trust and Lewes Prison .
The project will enable participants to explore, examine, analyse, debate and learn about daily life in Britain and make contributions to the Mass Observation Archive to reflect their own lives.
Festival of Social Science (ESRC)
The Mass Observation Archive was again successful in receiving a grant (£1,000) from the ESRC to deliver a series of talks and workshops as part of the Festival of Social Science; this is a national festival which promotes social science research to non-academic communities and the wider public.
6
As part of the festival, year 10 students from Ratton School (Eastbourne) were invited to The Keep to take part in two events that encouraged them to think about how archives relate to the digital age. The second event, “My Object Stories Hackathon”, was delivered in partnership with the University of Sussex’s School of Education and Social Work and the Sussex Humanities Lab. More information about the Hackathon event can be found here: http://blogs.sussex.ac.uk/everydaychildhoods/2015/12/11/talk-to-me-reflections- on-the-my-object-stories-hackathon.
Widening Participation
The Archive contributed to the University of Sussex’s Widening Participation programme for the third year running. The programme comprised seminars and workshops, which were delivered to the students at The Keep and University of Sussex Library. Sessions included an introduction to studying History at university, guest lectures by University of Sussex academics and talks by MOA and Special Collections staff. Students undertook research within the Archive and produced collage poster designs reflecting their findings. These designs were exhibited at the University of Sussex.
7. Projects and partnerships
AHRC Being Human: Festival of the Humanities
Following a successful funding application to the AHRC’s engagement programme to disseminate the value of the humanities to wider public audiences, the Archive held an informal evening event in Brighton on 19 November 2015 in partnership with Cringe UK (see https://twitter.com/cringeuk).
Cringe is a not-for-profit group which runs events in London based on public readings of teenage diaries by members of the audience. The event combined reading from the diaries of individuals with extracted readings written by teenagers from the Mass Observation Archive. These extracts were selected by Dr Lucy Robinson (History Sussex) and Dr Pam Thurschwell (English, Sussex). Drs Robinson and Thurschwell drew on these and extracts from their own personal diaries to illustrate the value of everyday life writing to humanities research into society and culture. Dr Robinson has written on her reflections on the event on her blog at https://drlucyrobinson.wordpress.com/2015/11/21/cringe-in-more-ways-than-one- but-dont-tell-my-mum/.
Giddy Brighton
19 students from Longhill School visited MOA as part of the HLF funded ‘Giddy History of Brighton’ project in November and December 2015 to research teenagers’ lives in Brighton following the Second World War. In January 2016 the project hosted
7
a Memory Day at The Keep for people to drop in and share their memories of their teenage years.
Research collected as part of this project has been transformed into a location based app called ‘Giddy Brighton’ which is now available for free from the App Store. The project cumulated with an exhibition at Brighton University’s Grand Parade Building as part of the Brighton Festival in May 2016.
Into the Outside
The Mass Observation Archive is a partner on the current HLF-funded Photoworks project, ‘Into The Outside’. As part of the project, Photoworks are working with 30 young people, the Jubilee Library, Brighton and a number of community organisations, to create a new archive representing what it is like to be a young member of the LGBTQ+ community in Brighton in the 21st Centenary. The archive will be deposited at The Keep
The project participants have been visiting The Keep to use the MOA and the National Lesbian and Gay Survey collections as well as the Brighton Our Story collection, to research the history and lived experiences of people who identify as LGBTQ+. They will be recording their own experiences and daily lives for the new archive. This material, along with material from the MOA, was displayed in an exhibition forming part of the Brighton Photo Biennial in October 2016.
12th May Diary Project
8
The Mass Observation Archive repeated its call for day diaries written on the 12th May. As in previous years, participants were asked to send in their diaries electronically and asked to share the copyright of their diary with the Archive. No other instructions were given to the diarists. 647 electronic diaries were submitted to the Archive. This is double the number received in 2015, thanks to the project being promoted on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour by Fiona Courage. 74 diaries were also sent into the Archive by post. The diaries are now available to consult in the Reading Room at The Keep.
The 12th May Diary project was promoted to a number of groups and organisations:
Community Groups
A number of community groups contributed diaries to the Archive. These include: The Brighton Housing Trust (7 diaries), Into the Outside project (6 diaries) and The Bridge Community Centre, Brighton (1 diary)
Folklivsarkivet at Lund University, Sweden
This year we developed a partnership with the Folklivsarkivet at Lund University, Sweden. The Folklivsarkivet run a project similar to the Mass Observation Project, which reocords everyday life in Sweden. They collected over 350 12th May diaries, which will be stored at the Folklivsarkivet.
Schools
The project was promoted to all schools in East Sussex and to a number of schools outside the county which had previously taken part. To date, we have received 286 diaries from 4 different schools.
UK Prisons
143 diaries from inmates of all ages and from 7 prisons across England were received at the Archive.
8. Events
The Keep
The Keep hosted a series of talks and seminars, for the public, to promote the range of collections housed in the building and their potential for research. Talks which focused on Mass Observation included:
‘Christmas with the Mass Observers’ workshop and discussion on MO Christmas diaries - Anthony McCoubrey, Jessica Scantlebury & Fiona Courage The BBC: A Century in British Life: a talk by Professor David Hendy
9

Mass Observation Archive staff also contributed to The Keep Open Day in November 2015. The theme of the Open Day was food. Over 150 people attended.
9. Staff changes
In August 2016, the following changes were made to the Archive’s staffing structure:
Kirsty Pattrick’s role as Mass Observation Project Officer was adapted to the Mass Observation Archive Officer. This change of title allows Kirsty to undertake a broader range of projects which cover the entire Archive.
The role of Mass Observation Education and Outreach Officer (Suzanne Rose) now encompasses some additional teaching and training preparation to include Higher Education groups, as well as education and community groups.
Jessica Scantlebury (Mass Observation Senior Archive Assistant) was regraded from grade 4 to grade 5. This represents the inclusion of wider teaching responsibilities in her role.
Other staffing changes include:
Kirsty Pattrick (Mass Observation Archive Officer) went on maternity leave in October 2015. She returned to her post in August 2016.
Anthony McCoubrey completed his internships in Special Collections in September 2016. Anthony is now working for the Mass Observation Archive as the Project co- ordinator for the Beyond Boxes project. This is a fixed term post for two years.
Louise Pawley took up the post of the Asa Briggs Graduate Intern in September 2015.
Billy Smith supported the cataloguing of the 12th May diaries in summer 2016. This was a temporary role.
10. Volunteers
A number of volunteers assisted with the work in Special Collections during 2015- 2016. Volunteers assisted with the processing, sorting and cataloguing of Mass Observation material and the Archive’s education and outreach programme.

11. The Mass Observation Project
During this reporting period the Mass Observation Project Panel increased from 362 to 454.
245 people requested to join the panel, of whom 197 fulfilled the recruitment criteria. 133 were accepted but did not complete the application process, while 64 went on to be active contributors. 48 applications were rejected as they did not meet the Archive’s current recruitment criteria.
Of the 454 current writers, 61% are women, 38% are men and 1% identify as transgender or gender fluid. The Mass Observation Project still achieves a high response rate from female correspondents. 68% of the responses to the Spring 2016 Directive on social mobility, for example, were from women writers.
A breakdown of the response to each Directive can be seen in figure 6 in the appendix.
Four of the Directives issued this year were themes suggested by academic researchers and commissioned Directives raised £26,000 (see figure. 6 in the appendix).
12. Friends of the Mass Observation Archive
Income from the Friends of the Mass Observation Archive decreased by £195 this year. The number of Friends (78) stayed the same (see fig. 7 in the appendix).
