I am currently trying to complete a PhD thesis based on some historical research that I have done into the giant rigid airships of the 1930's. However a black hole has opened up and blocked my progress as I cannot work out how to organise the information I have collected. The data consists of several hundred items that include, official government department memos, hand written notes, rules and regulations, magazine articles, memoirs, book excerpts, technical journals, conference papers, presentations, photos, diagrams, log books, internet pages, drawings, & etc, etc. In short I am trying to establish a specialist library from a standing start in short order with no previous experience. Any advice as to how others have previously dealt with similar problems would be most welcome. But more urgently I need to find a way of finishing the PhD asap which means that I have to write a linear narrative through what is effectively a three-dimensional (time/subject/process) database. Any one got any ideas or suggestions? |
