If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.

Hi,
For storing information in electronic form I have found Microsoft Onenote to be invaluable (have been busily adding in notes from this thread as I speak). This is an open format note taking app that can be synced to a cloud drive which will seamlessly synchronise to all devices, computer, iPad, phone etc.
I have used this extensively for renovations, car mods, camper van mods, all kinds of things. You can store links, sketches, images, checklists, all the things you need on a project. When I was making my workbench I would sketch the next piece in the design, scan it in to the notebook, sync my iPad and take it to the workshop with the new plans installed and ready to go. I find the checklist function great for longer term projects where you may be absent for a while and can get a feel for where you were at when you finally get back to it. Would be great for build logs as well as you can snap a photo, add some comments and then transfer to desktop later for uploading to the forum.
There are other similar solutions out there but this one works for me.
Cheers,
Greg
