Have you been using Endnote in combination with Adobe's PDF maker?

I've got all my references stored as local copies (and yes, they ARE backed up!), and arranged through Endnote. With PDF's, it's possible to search the entire collection for words or phrases. And, I can hi-lite and bookmark sections of interest.

Your history references appear to be a good fit for those tools...

There's also a plugin for Endnote called RefViz. It probes the abstract and notes for keywords, then creates a visual map of related material. Since you can see clusterings of items, it becomes possible to create subdivisions of 3-5 references within a work.
