This chapter concludes our all-round consideration of the research process by looking at the different ways in which one might present a dissertation or research project. We offer guidance on the organisation of ideas and text that will help you show to best effect your original archival discoveries and novel connections between buildings, landscapes, ideas, objects and cultures. The chapter provides models for structuring your dissertation, as well as guidance on the most effective ways of referencing the material and visual sources essential to spatial histories, such as buildings, material cultures and maps.
