Everything is filed first by country, then by category within the country, then by location in the files. 61949-02613 means that the photo is of Honduras (619) and is of children (49), is located on slide page #26 in slot #13. Within Portfolio, I have folders for each country with subfolders for the categories. The CD's are filed by country. Portfolio will tell me exactly which CD to look on for a particular photo. Portfolio can also search by keywords and captions. With digital photos, instead of physical location in the filing cabinet for the second half of the number I use the date the photo was taken. Hope this helps!
