What I do (for all photographs, actually, not just "info shots" like details)
is: instead of storing enlargements in albums, I put the negatives in
"archival" clear pages, and get contact sheets made. Now the negative and the
contact sheet can stay together, filed in whatever system you like - by
subject, alphabetically, chronologically, whatever. I store them in 3-ring
binders by subject.

PS - If anyone is wondering what a contact sheet is, instead of blowing up the
pictures to 4x5 etc., all the negatives are printed together, actual size, onto
one sheet.  This way you can get upto 35 35mm frames printed on one 8x10 sheet.
