Abstract

An overview of the studies undertaken on sport and the field of leisure by Mass Observation between 1937 and mid 1950s and from 1981 to the present day. Using examples drawn directly from the Mass Observation Archive, this paper demonstrates how the Archive can provide researchers with the opportunity to study sporting themes and attitudes.
