All core CCINTB interviewees have their own home pages on the website along with a number of pilot interviewees and participants who sent in letters, essays and other writings setting out their cinemagoing memories. Some interviewees (couples or friends interviewed jointly) have a shared home page. Headings of all home pages include individuals’ unique CMDA identifiers as well as their first names and surnames, for example:
William Pickess (WP-95-217) and Hazel Pickess (HP-95-217).
In the two versions of the compilation linked to below, home pages are ordered alphabetically by participants’ surnames. Group interviews (such as interviews conducted in care homes) are listed under the name of the institution (for example, Cranmer House), with the page incorporating links to separate pages for named participants. Pair interviews of participants with different surnames are included here under both names (for example, Rosalind Avadis’s and Mick Bloom’s shared home page appears in this compilation under each surname).
Most of the home pages were composed during 2020 and 2021 as part of the process of editing and formatting interview transcripts and other participant materials in preparation for their addition to the CMDA website by web developer Julia McDowell. Other pages have been added from time to time since (for example for participants mentioned in CMDA blogs), with more substantial additions and revisions made during 2025. As well as providing background information on participants and summarising the contents of their contributions, home pages include links to archival assets associated with each participant (interview audio and transcripts, correspondence, memorabilia, etc) as well as to relevant items available on external websites. Some home pages also refer the user to pertinent publications.
In addition to the compilations, home pages can also be accessed via the Participant Attribute Search page or (for interviewees) via links on the home pages of interview fieldwork locations.
