Thanks so much for this informative podcast. I very much appreciated your tips on the advantages of using a categories filing system. I currently use what qualifies as a category system but I rely more on a lateral files system than I do binders – probably because I’m from the old school. I do however use binders for vital and census records. I will be renaming my “obituaries” binder “Death Components” thanks to you. Your insights and tips are very much appreciated. I look forward to hearing more from you and making practical use of the information you impart.
Best.
