His team of social investigators interviewed Londoners from diverse backgrounds, documenting their experiences along with the investigators' own candid remarks and statistical data in over 450 notebooks. These findings became the foundation of Booth's colour-coded social mapping and his extensive seventeen-volume work, \u003ci\u003eInquiry into the Life and Labour of the People of London, 1886-1903\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOrganised into six geographical sections, \u003ci\u003eCharles Booth's London Poverty Maps\u003c\/i\u003e features the hand-coloured preparatory and printed social maps of London.
