All my research papers are in 1 box file. There might be a couple of ref books in the cupboard too. I have a slim file with printed trees and info about my main family, I look at this most, it sits on the shelf near the 'puter.
But I do have a suitcase of 'archive' stuff which includes all the certificates plus other family odds and ends.

Oh dear....

Bottom cupboard of the dresser - Files for each line with printed data and certs. Files for 'connections' not added to my tree.
Bottom two shelves of bookcase - Reference books.
Settle - Files I am working on and my genealgy coursework files.
Bedroom - Box of files of data that might be useful one day.
Laptop - FTM and copies of all data.

Believe it or not I do have a study but prefer it this way!

And yes I am organised but I learnt a long time ago how easy it is for the 'paperwork' to get out of hand and how long it takes to bring it into order :-)

I was just looking through all of my family tree stuff and had quite a bit of this and that. Ranging from several family tree charts, folders, forms, software, pads of paper, news paper clippings, photos... it goes on, and it keeps growing. Are you organised? I do keep all of mine in my own cabinet, but at this rate i may need another!
How much do you have? x
