A disorganized archive makes it difficult to find and share the stories you have worked so hard to collect.
This section provides a simple, thorough system for organizing your interviews, photos, and documents so nothing gets lost and everything is easy to find. You will find two downloads below: a Simple Starter Guide perfect for everyday family use, which breaks the process down into four basic folders, straightforward file naming, and a simple backup rule.
For those looking for a more robust, professional approach, the Advanced Templates pack includes detailed folder structures, metadata spreadsheets, controlled vocabularies, and comprehensive checklists for managing a larger collection.
