Tips for doing archival research (beehaw.org)

I'm currently doing research to cover 50 years of history for a student union.

Most of the documentation comes from primary sources - minutes, photos, student newspapers. It's so many documents. 50 years is a long time it turns out.

I'm currently managing sources using Zotero and putting information down in Microsoft Word. I currently divide my sources by decade.

Do you have any tips from doing similar types of research?
