Nvivo software analysis. • How to describe and present the routes? The core methodology centred on will be the idea of ‘mapping’, as a cartographical metaphor. • Impact testing and creating a legacy for 3 existing groups; with the Paston Heritage Society, Pathways to History Collective and tbc. • The map will also be evaluated by 3 lecturers (each from different disciplines) for its academic impact.
