Many new techniques and some familiar ones are utilized by Mass-Observation in a unique continuing study of all England's social institutions. Volunteer field workers record their observations of important events and keep detailed diaries on the war as they experience it. Two urban areas are constantly under survey, and rural community studies are made periodically. Book-length reports on pubs, politics, religion, and the human side of industry have been published. Trained investigators are making separate continuing studies of particular institutions. Even at the blackest periods of the war, the record of war's effects on ordinary peacetime habits has been kept going. A library including important journalsas well as many minor leaflets and bulletins published by assorted social groups has been built. Opinion-sampling methods are employed, but the techniques of observation and subjective accounts are being more and more depended upon for the recording of social change in Britain at the deeper, more significant levels
