Don’t Lose Your Way Researcher (Hounslow)

Don’t Lose Your Way Researcher (Hounslow)In early 2020, thousands of people joined the search for lost paths as part of the Don’t Lose Your Way campaign. Together our volunteers discovered over 49,000 miles of unrecorded ways, which are vulnerable to being obstructed, closed, or lost to the passing of time. Now we need to save these paths, by putting together applications for them to be recorded on the official ‘Definitive Maps.’The role of Don’t Lose Your Way Researcher is for those who are keen to engage in the process of researching, applying for, and saving these lost paths. The approach taken by researchers will vary in different areas and will be guided by a local coordinator. You could get involved with deskwork, archival research, or surveying potential lost paths on the ground, as well as supportive and administrative tasks.The role will require confidence using online systems to gather and share information. It will also require some initiative – while training and guidance will be available, the subject matter is complex and researchers will be expected to guide themselves to the support they need.
