The aim of this paper is to introduce the reader to one of the components of Mass Observation Archive, the Topic Collections (TC) and to present its primary sources. Due to the quantity of data held in the collections, it would be impossible to embrace it entirely and present it properly. Therefore, following an introductory part on the MOA and its material, tehn a short presentation of the Topic Collections, this essay focuses mainly a single subject: Food. It explores the primary sources contained in the nine boxes dedicated to this specific theme, introduces thoroughly some of its material, and finally presents an example of research based on a survey carried out by Mass Observation (MO) in 1941.
