So it's been years since I last did this but iirc lr has a database separate to the stored image files. You can maintain a legit database with external storage. If you remove the drive it will highlights this but it's ok, it doesn't freak out. You also have separate files containing settings of edits (rather than duplicated image files edited, if you get me). This is kinda it's raison d'etra. Do not move or delete these database and edit files. You can back them up if you like but don't fuck with them, they're not large in file size so best leave them.
tl:dr
Lightroom, external drives for image storage but nothing more, illford binder and archival sleeves (for negs), silver print archival boxes (for prints).

haha, its okay ill try things out before.
I wish there was just a manual on how to organise film photos.
I do it quite well but then lightroom removes all the photos from the folder when importing? so they are then all in lightroom by date and in one catalog. Might go into the apple store or post in digital photography thread.
