When I was writing my PhD thesis, which considered the early career of British filmmaker Maurice Elvey, I put together boxes and boxes of index cards which told me what Mr Elvey did and where he was on an almost daily basis between 1905 and 1929.
Thank you for the prompt about index cards! It’s been at the back of my mind that I need some way of keeping track of who does what when in my research and have bought cards and a box today! It brought back memories of 50 years ago when I started a box of cards for my family research as a teenager.

I started using them after reading Possession by AS Byatt. I so wanted to be a researcher with index cards!
