Organizing Archival Material

When preparing to research and gather information, one of the most important things is how you organize everything you have collected. Without doing this your research could be all scattered out and not make any sense. There isn't one specific way to do this but you must look at everything you have gathered and collected. Depending on how you organize your information, it will build a frame for everything you did and it will keep building around all that you have gathered. Everything an anything you collect will help you in writing your material. This goes from historical artifacts to a collection of archives put together by other people.
