How do you store and catalog your vinyl?


Just curious how members store, sort and catalog their vinyl collection.
With less than a 1000 I have a hard time remembering just what I already own and have purchased duplicates by mistake whilst at the LRS.

How do you store them?
How do you sort them? Alphabetical or genre or year?
Catalog? In the good old days probably in a note book modern equivalent would be a word document or excel spreadsheet.

Very interested to hear what you do and how you manage that massive collection.

My collection was about the size of yours when I started to organize it last year with Discogs. I got a couple of Kallax shelving units from IKEA and went to town. While organizing, I noticed two things: several records I thought I had I did not (lost in multiple moves, stolen, gotten rid of...) and I had a few records I had no idea how I got them. I quickly started culling and adding, all the while finally LISTENING to my records. Just hit 1500 this week, so beware.
