How about photo albums with full page clear stick down pages?

  This may be an inappropriate question if so I am sorry and just ignore it. 

   I am  finding I have a ton of genealogy paper  that needs filing for purposes of being able to find things quickly on a person or family.  Is it best to use notebooks - file folders or what?

  I need ideas - I have  thought about family books -  but I don't want to  punch holes in Birth Certificates etc.

  I have thought about file folders but they get messy. and you need a file cabinet.

  I have thought about large manilla envelopes - and puchased a box but it seems difficult to get  paper in and out when needed and I have it all over.  

  I  now have plastic tubs  by families along with the pictures, but what I want is always on the bottom.   I definitely need a system.

  Does anyone have  other ideas?  Am I alone in this mess.
