How do you keep/archive your recipes?

Online? In a standard cookbook or binder? I've been putting together old recipes we've passed down through our family as well as ones we've picked up along the way (either online or through the newspaper/other cookbooks) and was curious as to what the F&D board does to keep them all together. I thought about putting them in a Word doc to convert to a PDF when I'm finished, scanning some of the handwritten recipes from older relatives for sentimental reasons.

Binder for the ones we really like.

Binder but I am slowly adding them to google drive so I can access them at the store and while cooking.

I have a binder of my recipes along with my Mom's and my Grammaw's.
While i'm maintaining the handwritten book and will pass it down to my sons, i'm also gradually typing them in Word documents. I save them in my computer, back them up on my external hard drive, and i also email them to myself. I keep those emails in a folder in my email, which makes it easy to access them from anywhere (like the grocery) or just forward those emails to anyone right from my phone if anyone ever asks me for a recipe.

Loose leaf in an old copy of Fast Food My Way. If you are interested in a cool way to preserve an old handwritten recipe or give as gifts, see this link. N LINK to 3dcarving

I am using Living Cookbook software currently, but if I can get it to export correctly, I may be moving to Cookin' software, because it has an android app. I have almost 12,000 recipes collected and I published the TD Recipe collection using LC.
LC is very easy to collect internet recipes and not that tedious to type them in if you have paper copies.
I also have PDF's, Word docs and even some picture recipes.

My brain, for the simple stuff. I'm not a big follower of recipes for savory cooking; I tend to recall the general technique and flavor profile of a recipe after I've made it & won't really refer to precise measurements when I repeat it.
In the cookbooks I own, post-its/loose pages with comments/corrections/additions on recipes contained therein.
A red Moleskine notebook for my baking formulae, with lots of notes & some basic records about what I baked when, how it turned out. It's more of a recipe development workbook than a cookbook per se.

Google Drive. If you wanted to convert hard copy to soft, and you don't care about not having a search function, you could take pictures and append all into one pdf. Or just have multiple pdf files (one for each recipe) in a Google Drive folder.
