Mass Observation Online provides access to digitised versions of manuscripts and papers collected by the Mass Observation organisation in Britain during the period 1937 to the mid 1950s. It provides insights into daily lives and routines and provides access to primary sources of interest to those researching or studying historical, sociological or anthropological subjects.

AM Research Skills is a resource which helps researchers to gain skills in approaching primary sources such as newspapers, photographs, letters, objects, films and more. The Research Skills Foundations module contains almost 200 essays, videos, guides and case studies which describe how primary sources can be interrogated and used in academic research. Alongside the Foundations module, Strathclyde also provides access to the module Interrogating Colonial Documents and Narratives, which introduces the key considerations concerned with studying colonial history. This resource will be of interest to anyone who wishes to use primary sources in their research, assignments or essays.
This resource is published by AM, formerly known as Adam Matthew.
