YES Jim
I totally agree with you
I have a computer file for each type of weapons that come home ...
in fact, for each item of my collectionS .... I have 3
- Islamic edged weapons
- Islamic rosaries (semi-precious stones)
- Islamic talismanic bowls (also called, medicine bowls)
in this file, there are "doc" and "jpg",
whenever I find something pertinent I add,
I'm even shots computer screen when I can't extract a pic, or a doc

definitively, we are in the same track
all the best
