Asda have an index card holder + 80 small index cards on offer at the moment £1.00. The card holder is like a small floppy plastic file which is small enough to carry round and would offer some protection for your index cards. Save you carrying card boxes around. I thought they were quite good so I thought I would pass it on to you all.

Going out now but will check this thread later.

All th best

Sounds good.

I have HUGE A4 and foolscap concertina files and
I still have GR paperwork all over the place.

I guess I am just a paperwork slob!

Linda

What people seem to be doing is puting all the information they have on one person on one index card. This keeps all the information together. These files in Asda would also mean that if you wanted to take your cards with you when doing new research you can without taking piles and piles of notes with you.

Hope this helps
