When writing long involved historical books, it was important for me to be able to get access to info on places, characters, dates etc. I was writing in Word at the time and so I built an Access database, filled it with the fields I needed and then, just completed a form whenever I wanted to add something. The database was searchable and this worked well for me. However, you do have to propagate the database, which can be a pain and I'm sure there must be an easier way to do this nowadays.
