Abstract
Visualisation has been a tool within research for a long time. However, looking at visualisation as a way to spread scientific information to a larger audience, or how it can support and deepen understanding of a topic has not been extensively analysed. In this thesis the topic is the migration of the Mennonites from the Low Countries from 1500 to 2018, as a means to see what visualisation can reveal about their story that the written sources have overlooked or could simply not show. The main trends in the Mennonites migration was from west to east on the Eurasian continent and from north to south in the Americas, with a preference to open and flat areas such as deltas or plains. This thesis shows that visualisation can be a useful tool to study migration, and it can reveal possible factors within migration such as elevation, biomes, and climates.
