The complete research material consists of two folders of correspondence, replies to letters published in local newspapers in Lancashire and Yorkshire. During the research, contact was made with a number of respondents in their 70s and 80s from Leeds, Huddersfield, Bolton, Rochdale and Manchester, who were interviewed in February 1994. The audio versions of the in-depth qualitative interviews and the letters may be made available in the future. Main Topics: The research asked for information about the history of the Co-operative movement, particularly the experience of ordinary shoppers rather than activists. The research was particularly focussed on the question why people used the Co-op before World War Two, whether they were motivated by the dividend or if they had some conception of the movement’s wider aims. Another aim of the research undertaken was also the intention to better understand the relationship between their engagement with the Co-op and their consumer practices more generally; ie how they had experienced the ‘new consumerism’ that historians have discerned between the wars. 01 January 1993 - 31 December 199401 January 199331 December 1994 England LancashireYorkshire West Riding IndividualsInstitutions/organisationsSubnational 12 members of the Co-operative movement in Lancashire and Yorkshire Text Cross-sectional (one-time) study No sampling (total universe) Face-to-face interview The Data Collection is available to UK Data Service registered users subject to the <a href="https://ukdataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/cd137-enduserlicence.pdf" target="_blank">End User Licence Agreement</a>.Commercial use of the data requires approval from the data owner or their nominee.
