Thanks for the good video! I really like your point that it helps with structuring your argumentation and writing process because you're constantly reminded by the binder of the structure to follow. Also the benefit of being able to quickly see this overview and add for example a possible quote or so in a section you might only come to in months of research later is really great. Keeping this overview is what I thought to be the biggest challenge when starting a PhD in history and think that Scrivener can help a lot with that. Better then the Word index but also definitely way better then the folder/subfolder structures with thousands of pdfs and short sections.
I really appreciate your video tutorial on Scrivener for Historians. I am a retired graphic designer beginning my first book. I have been researching my subject for several years and collecting research. I am hoping to follow careful standards to provide readers with authoritative content using a primary source basis. My subject is the Crawford family in Scotland, which is not so much a genealogical book but more of a survey of the historical connections of the family and the place where they lived, etc. Thanks again for your assistance, I also have your book The Princeton Guide to Historical Research.
