Best way to approaching record retreval.

I want to put the minutes of meetings on the web site. Keeping them for
a few years. That would
be about 25 - 30 2-3 page documents, in date sequence. What's the best
format (approach) Any Ideas for me. Thanks a ton.

My thoughts are to save them as PDF.

Create a folder named minutes and store them in here with the date as the
file name
e.g.
minutes/25-03-2007.pdf
minutes/22-04-2007.pdf
minutes/20-05-2007.pdf

Then create links to them of the form
<a href="minutes/25-03-2007.pdf">Minutes of 25 March 2007</a>
<a href="minutes/22-04-2007.pdf">Minutes of 22 April 2007</a>
<a href="minutes/20-05-2007.pdf">Minutes of 20 May 2007</a>

Thanks Trevor. I've been putting them out as a PDF file, each time they
come out. Makes sense to me. Thanks for your thoughts.

better:
minutes/2007-25-03.pdf
they'd sort better that way.

True,

I thought of that , but I didn't want to complicate matters. It's bad enough
that US and Australian dates are different (i.e. mm/dd/yy vs dd/mm/yy).

But actually yyyy-mm-dd is good. It is the way I sort any files of this
type, anyway

My accountant drives me nuts when she sends me monthly files with all
different file naming conventions (or lack thereof). I need to find a batch
file re-namer (like you can do with IrFanview but for regular
files)...cause it's a pain in the but trying to find a file from 2 years ago
amongst a zillion with diff names.

Exactly... I use "070604" Yr Mo Da. Keeps them in order and I have
a couple of digits left for coding different things on the same date and
still keep it in 8 characters...
