• Written and audio accounts, diaries, drawings, film and photography.
• A national level data set for re-use among researchers in and beyond academia and future generations of social historians.

• A magnet for further research
• Setting a new agenda for the framing of qualitative enquiry. • E.g life course analyses of fatherhood
