Ozu Site

I found this site dedicated to the Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu at del.icio.us yesterday. It offers writings and a lot of pictures about Ozu and his films in a very delicious way. It's still under construction (some contents are missing).

Mass Observation

The Mass Observation Archive specialises in material about everyday life in Britain. It contains papers generated by the original Mass Observation social research organisation (1937 to early 1950s), and newer material collected continuously since 1981. The Archive is in the care of the University of Sussex and is housed in the Library in Special Collections.
