We then worked out how many facts and opinions we have collectively:
Facts: 80
Opinions: 10
Research is important to gain evidence.
Look for the most appropriate method.

Problems Which Prevent Research
Insufficient funds - museum entry, travel expenses, journal
Timescale - not enough time, too much time
No Access/Availability - to internet, books, people
Limited visual material/written content on the subject matter
Specific clients needs can restrict breadth of research
Unreliable sources - anonymous blog posts
Event has passed/person is dead - cant take photographs, interview
Legal access - to document/go to place
People not taking questionnaires seriously
Lack of prior knowledge
How To Tackle Problems
Costs - budget, plan potential costs
Geographical restraints - email people who are there, travel google maps
Limited time - prioritise, schedule, work out best method
Dead people/events - documentaries, talk to witnesses/relatives, look at photos, read past newspaper articles, visit museums
