Dave: In the interest of streamlining, I've stopped saving paper and/or digital images of things that are readily available online. This could be dangerous with data found on obscure sites, but I can't imagine that census records will someday *not* be available in some form. I do, however, put a full transcription of the family's listing in my source notes.

For many of my earlier entries and a few of my later entries, I have gone back to the census and scrolled to the appropriate page and found the data quickly. This tells me that my source details pass the test of "findability." Now I am wondering if it is worth the effort to make a digital copy of each census record to include with each reference to the census document in Resident, Occupation, Emigration, and Religion Events. How would you professionals answer this query?
