The Structure of Research

The collection of information for a history of Camera Clubs in Balboa Park is a huge task. In spans a time period of 1927 to the present. It is the story of the men and women who created, grew and maintained the clubs through that stretch of time. It is not only the history of Balboa Park; but also the history of a 150 years of San Diego.

I have chosen to use Evernote, a cross-platform app designed for note taking, organizing, and archiving information.

The app allows users to create a "note" which can be a piece of formatted text, a full webpage or webpage excerpt, a photograph, a voice memo, or a handwritten "ink" note. Notes can also have file attachments. Notebooks can be added to a stack while notes can be sorted into a notebook, tagged, annotated, edited, given comments, searched, and exported as part of a notebook.

This massive amount of information is able to be tamed with the creation of a Table of Contents which is hyperlinked to specific areas within a notebook named "Camera Clubs of Balboa Park". Specific information is able to be located easily with the Table of Contents, Tags and Search functions.

Below is an outline for the Table of Contents. Suggestions are welcome.
