Mass Observation 2009
update
Special CAUL discount price:
£10,500 (14/7/08)
For all those who purchased
Mass Observation Online, this update offers a further c250,000 pages of
material for a fraction of the price of the original project. None
of the new material has been microfilmed or digitized before. We
include six new topic collections which scholars have urged us cover :
TC17 - Films (this looks at audience responses to British and American
films; looks at particular films such as ‘The Lion has Wings’, ‘the Great
Dictator’ and ‘Confessions of a Nazi Spy’; and at the efficacy of Government
short films); TC20 - Reading Habits (this looks at where people read, what
they read and why they read); TC28 – Dreams (an interesting collection
of material that taps into the surrealist influences of Mass Observation);
TC47 – Religion (a thorough investigation of popular attitudes to religion
in Britain between 1935 and 1950); TC49 - Victory Celebrations (a record
of the way in which both VE Day and VJ Day were celebrated); TC 72 - Capital
Punishment (investigations of popular attitudes towards the death penalty,
including the public reaction to an execution). We also cover all
of the Diaries and Directives for 1941 and 1942, providing hundreds of
detailed personal responses to events such as the signing of the Atlantic
Charter, the attack on Pearl Harbor, the fall of Singapore, and the Second
Battle of El Alamein.

Updated 26/9/08:
Beginning in Spring 2009,
this will be published in three instalments covering 1949-1956, 1957-1966
and 1967-1976.
The Special CAUL discount

We can increase the discount
to 40% for a combined purchase of all three sections, if confirmed before
December 31st 2009. This reduces the total from £63,000
to £37,800.
This is our second major
Archives
Direct project, covering all of the British Foreign Office Files relating
to China and Formosa/Taiwan from the Communist Revolution to the death
of Mao Zedong. These files are especially valuable as Britain recognised
the new Communist regime at an early date and maintained close contact
with the new Government due to its vested interests in the region.
There are many reports from British and Commonwealth officials, as well
as opinions of those in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore.
This is a truly enormous resource, which will help to shed light on the
social, cultural, political and economic history of China in this period.
Medieval Family Life

in this new digital edition, which links facsimiles of the original manuscript
images to fully searchable transcriptions of the documents. Source
libraries include the British Library, Chetham’s Library, Manchester, The
National Archives and the West Yorkshire Records Service. This will be
an essential source for anyone exploring or teaching topics such as Medieval
Family Life, the Wars of the Roses, the lives of the Paston Family or medieval
women.

resources are drawn from the Beinecke Library, the British Library, the
Private Library of Edward Chaney, the Paul Mellon Center for British Art

and the Surrey History Centre.

American
West
Sources from the Everett
D. Graff Collection of Western Americana at the Newberry Library, Chicago
Special CAUL discount price:
£16,800 (14/7/08)
The Graff Collection at
the Newberry Library is widely regarded as one of the finest collections
of Western Americana in existence. Working together with leading
scholars we have brought together a vast body of manuscripts, maps (this
is an especially strong resource, which scholars are keen to access), ephemera
and rare printed materials, ranging from wanted posters and claim certificates
to the original manuscript journals of people such as James Audubon and
accounts of outlaws and vigilantes. There is much on themes such
as pioneer life, agriculture and the environment, borderlands, mining communities,
Native Americans, and the ‘imagined West.’ This will be a source
welcomed by those interested in history, literature and cultural studies
and those drawing parallels between America and Australasia.
Eighteenth
Century Journals III
Special CAUL discount price:
£10,500 (14/7/08)
Ever since the publication
of Sections I and II scholars and librarians have encouraged us to make
available further 18th century journals, with a particular emphasis on
those published outside of London. To commence this process we have
selected a group of 25 titles from Canada, the Caribbean and India from
British Library Newspapers at Colindale. None of these titles appear
in the Burney Collection (Early English Newspapers) or in ECCO or EEBO.
These journals demonstrate how news spread throughout the Empire and show
how different stories gain greater prominence in different territories.
They are an invaluable source for local news, but they also show how culture,
taste and political concerns are circulated. To this has been added a further
42 journals from Cambridge University Library, which is dominated by a
large number of extremely rare titles published in Belfast, Clare, Cork,
Derry, Drogheda, Dublin, Limerick, Munster, Sligo and Westmeath.
Many are from the 1790s and reflect the revolutionary fervour in Ireland.
All three sections are available in a portal environment which allows cross
searching of all titles.
India,
Raj and Empire
Manuscript Collections from
the National Library of Scotland
Special CAUL discount price:
£6,650 (14/7/08)
There is a growing interest
in the history of South Asia. India has played a crucial role in
global trading networks for centuries and was central to the story of Empire.
More recently it has emerged as a vibrant democracy and a major economic
power. The National Library of Scotland has wonderful collections
documenting this history from the foundation of the East India Company
in 1600 to the granting of independence for India and Pakistan in 1947.
The sources are extremely varied ranging from the papers of key East India
Company representatives and colonial officials to records of daily life
in Agra, Bombay, Lahore, and Madras. There are original Indian manuscripts
containing histories and literary works, as well as accounts of wars, discussions
of Indian Nationalism and papers of tea and coffee planters.

Special CAUL discount price:
£6,650 (14/7/08)

complete digital facsimiles of the original manuscripts. The result is
a resource which is indispensable for anyone interested in women and women's

of the resource is that it brings together little known material from widely
scattered locations. This first part includes c270 manuscripts from c18

A Finding Aid to Women’s

Documents on the Suffrage Question in Britain, the Empire and Colonial
Territories
(Previously listed on our
web-site as "Sex & Gender Online" and providing c5000 original manuscript
images on the Suffrage Question as well as the Finding Aid to Women’s Studies
Resources – compiled over a period of 5 years by staff at The National
Archives)
Additional note (28/10/05):
We see this as a one-time
purchase and [the subscriber] will have perpetual access to the archival
back-up that will be supplied and if in the future the University wanted
to host the material then this is allowed. The DVDs will come with all
the PDF images and XML code and the content can be extracted as required.
The additional fee in 2015 for another 5-10 year period will purely be
to cover our ongoing hosting fees and we estimate it will be between 5%-10%
of the purchase price. There will certainly not be another large charge
for access and this will be as small a fee as we can make it. MARC
21 cataloging records will also be provided in 2007 at no charge.
