Scribe is a free cross-platform note-taking program designed
especially with historians in mind. Think of it as the next step in
the evolution of traditional 3x5 note cards. Scribe allows you to
manage your research notes, quotes, thoughts, contacts, published and
archival sources, digital images, outlines, timelines, and glossary
entries. You can create, organize, index, search, link, and cross-
reference your note and source cards. You can assemble, print, and
export bibliographies, copy formatted references to clipboard, and
import sources from online catalogs. You can store entire articles,
add extended comments on each card in a separate field, and find and
highlight a particular word within a note or article. Scribe's uses
range from an undergraduate history research seminar to a major
archival research project.
