I have just begun to scan documents and historical photos to associate
with my Legacy database. Can experienced users suggest the best way
to organize these photos and documents? What file system do you use?
Hello Matt,
The way I do mine is have a master file with sub-folders:
C:\My Documents\Family History Images\Documents
C:\My Documents\Family History Images\Family Photos
C:\My Documents\Family History Images\Historical Photos
C:\My Documents\Family History Images\Other
C:\My Documents\Family History Images\Video
When you scan the images, you can then save to the appropriate folder.
The added advantage is when you backup the directory, you're only
backing up the Family History Images folder as all the 5 sub-folders
will also be included. Mind you, I have done this in mind with backing
up to DVD. I recommend saving images as TIFF over JPG as you get better
compression if you intend on zipping the images if space is at a premium.
