- What I do (for all photographs, actually, not just "info shots" like details)
- is: instead of storing enlargements in albums, I put the negatives in
- "archival" clear pages, and get contact sheets made. Now the negative and the
- contact sheet can stay together, filed in whatever system you like - by
- subject, alphabetically, chronologically, whatever. I store them in 3-ring
- binders by subject.

- PS - If anyone is wondering what a contact sheet is, instead of blowing up the
- pictures to 4x5 etc., all the negatives are printed together, actual size, onto
- one sheet. This way you can get upto 35 35mm frames printed on one 8x10 sheet.
