Description
A collection of notes, observations, reports and questionnaires on attitudes to popular holidays and holiday pastimes. The Beveridge Holiday Questionnaire (1947) studied holiday hopes, habits and finance, and opinions of holiday camps (reports of which are also part of the collection). Questionnaire replies exist from Birmingham, London, York and Exmoor. Earlier material documents attitudes to the 'Holidays at Home' campaign (1942-43) and ephemera related to British holidays covers the whole period. Some parts of the collection are concurrent with M-O's Worktown project.
