I am curious how people create section dividers for albums so you can quickly find a certain section: country, year, etc. For US, I like to divide by year in later years and for my Malaya/Malaysia by state.

There are the traditional page dividers with tabs or could use post it notes.

I have used various types dividers (clear tabs look cheap, write/print on look better. I know one could create a special page but looking for ideas on tabbing.

re: Album Sections

Scott had, and I believe still offers self-adhesive tabs intended to be used with the catalogs. I bought a set years ago (there's one set per catalog), and used it for my albums to identify the first page of each country. There are also blank labels and back-of-book labels in each set in addition to the country names. They are nice since they are all pre-printed (except for the blanks ones of course).

I have some Avery print/write labels that are considered removeable. They are on many services but on some, like Vario pages, they were not. On my Mystic binders they can loosen.

re: Album Sections

I never have a problem finding what I am looking for in either my albums or catalogs and so I cannot understand why others feel the need for cumbersome tabs hanging off pages.
Catalogs list countries in alphabetical order except for States, some colonies, possesions and offices which are listed before or after the mother country. My albums are
country specific for major countries. Smaller countries are grouped with other small countries by continent. Before my house burned down my 150+ albums were arranged so that I could find anything I was looking for in a minute. Since the fire my collection is spread out in a couple different rooms and it takes much longer but that is only because I do not have them arranged as I like and has nothing to do with tabs.
