Still Shooting

I have just completed an inventory and catalog of all my firearms. Over the years I have been good at keeping a catalog sometimes, and not so good at others. I know I should keep a current inventory in case the house is robbed, or burns to the ground, but its one of those things that are easy to forget about.
The current list (17 entries) is an Excel spreadsheet that contains the following info:
Caliber/Guage
Manufacturer
Model
Serial No.
Production Year
Optics
Market Value (price range and date of estimate)
Comments
I have taken to using last 60 days sales on Gunbroker.com as a benchmark for market value (range), based on a review of photos for items sold vs. my own guns. I think this time I will also do digital photos of all the guns, to establish the validity of my assessed values, and put the whole thing on a CD. Trying now to figure out if I need a safe deposit box, or just the fireproof box at home.
How do you take care of this for your own stuff?
