How do you organize your research & results?

How do you organize your research & results?

I'm beginning to amass a large pile of paperwork, and struggling to keep it as neatly organized as the digital versions of things. I'm thinking that I need to organize two major "elements" - my research (notes, record requests, working files, etc.) and also the results, which would include pedigree charts and/or an Ahnentafel list, family record sheets, and copies of actual documents (birth certificates, etc.)

How do you all organize these things? I'd love to know details, even down to how you decide what order to put things in. (Like, do family record sheets stay in a whole separate section, or are they with their relevant pedigree charts or something?)

I know I want them in binders, because that's what I do with *everything* (I work better from binders than files), but I'm not sure what kind of system to set up so I can actually find things.

Hi my name is Jack Turgeon and I am a Champlain College student collecting research data for a class. Would you be interested in a platform that would allow you to create a profile for each of your family members in order to record their legacy?

I would definitely be interested in something like that, in theory. Whether or not I'd be interested in practice would depend on the details of the platform.
