Because I've been researching for 15 years my folder has become a binder!. There are binders with 4 or 6 inch rings!. I have one or more per surname!.
I also have plastic tubs (for waterproofing) that I keep pictures, videos and folders!. One folder per surname, one folder per state!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd imagine you're going to outgrow the binders soon enough!. I'd invest the $30 in a 2 draw filing cabinet and break it up into lines so that you can store everything safely and keep yourself organized!. This time of year, you can usually also find a used cabinet at a garage sale or on Craig's List for super cheap!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm sure the A4 or Foolscap lever arch folders are the biggest you can buy!. They are what I use because I have never found anything bigger!. I think if there was a bigger folder it might be really cumbersome, so it you, like I, break your work down into subjects each with its own ring binder that might be a more useful solution!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would suggest breaking you work into volumes such as different branches of your family then after that part is finalized have it professionally made into a book!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
