Disposal of the records Think long-term as well as big. Your researches can save others, now or in the future generations, a great deal of time, but only if they have access to your papers, can find their way through them, and can interpret your notes. Keep papers anchored in files in an intelligible order, preferably with your most up to date pedigree on top and the supporting transcripts, extracts, letters, etc., behind. Deposit a copy of your pedigree in the Society's Library as soon as it is reasonably complete and you have turned to another line. Instruct your Executors on the disposal of your files.
Random extracts are of little value.
