Larry, I think that would work using the Artifacts > Privately Held template. The citation detail has a field for Item of Interest for the particular page or item in your binder. Your binders are really no different than a scrapbook, really. Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me. Terri

I have volunteered to compile this information into Legacy for my eldest sister-in-law. My objective is not to publish a book but rather to get all the info and photos into Legacy then save them to CD for family members that may want them. I have decided to put the info from each binder into a separate Family File, thus having three files corresponding to each binder source. These may then be merged into one main file. My primary concern is how to treat the sources. Due to time constraints I am thinking of using the name of each binder as one source for all information contained in the respective Family File. That is each Family File will only have one source for all the information therein. When I do the final merge I plan to source each File once upon import giving me three sources in the combined Family File. My sister-in-law will be listed as the repository for the binders. I hope I have explained this clearly! Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions on this approach would be much appreciated before I start entering the data.
