FGS: Making Sense of the Shambles: Organizational Tools for Genealogy

As family historians, we tend to be “Keepers of Everything,” from treasured original family documents and photographs to printed copies found online and at repositories. It’s easy to become overwhelmed and disorganized.

Content includes software tools for organization, computer filing techniques, “hard copy” options, and archival storage solutions.
