Anyhow, you could use a content management system (CMS), which is equally useful, but you'll need to learn a bit of it. However, a database should also help you archive stuff, and if you're looking for an easy to use, free database, try downloading the link given in the sources.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.openoffice.org/ I would recommend a website because that way you’d actually, at some point, be able to go and let others use the archives.
