Do you keep a log book / record of your collectable firearms?

The BATF&E offered a template for the information they required C&R licensees maintain in a bound book. It includes action type, make, model, caliber, serial number, country of manufacture, date of purchase, purchased from info, and disposition if sold.

My crude system is to keep two logs. One is in my computer's document file , the other in my pictures.
Document list is split into long arms and handguns. Arms are listed alphabetically (Arisaka), model (Type 99), serial # (xxxxx), caliber (7.7 X 58mm Jap), manufacturer (Tokyo/Kogyo Arsenal), series (30), and mfg date (c. 1941). Then details about the particular arm ( All matching #'s, Mum X-ed out, repro sling, Type 30 bayonet..). As my research gets refined, I will add details such as production numbers and such. From time to time, I'll print out a hard copy of the list for the safe.
Picture files are basic at first, then upgraded as time allows and particular details more important. The pics go on back up periodically.
Pretty simple and flexible for updates.
