However, putting sources on charts is hardly some strange personal
preference. It is, in fact, considered necessary by the professional
organizations of genealogy. Not having that capability is a holdover
from older times - earlier genealogical programs didn't used to clutter

There must be more to "Archival" vs "Acid Free" Paper.
