There are three ways: Paper, internet storage, or software.
Storage on paper has a long and successful history, albeit an archaic practice. Paper documentation requires far too much attention to detail to keep up and organize beyond a few generations. Large family trees, beyond two or three generations, documented on paper involve recording family groups and filing detailed information by individual in a way that permits you to easily retrieve it from an index.
Unless you are considering researching a small family history, it is widely recommended to utilize internet storage and software methods together. These two are far more common and efficient ways to catalog your research.
Online sites, like Ancestry.com, GenCircles, or Rootsweb are great for online storage and work well with uploading data from your computer.
There are also many types of genealogy computer programs for compiling at home. Most retailers offer some type of genealogy programs.
However, there are also many that you can download for free or that are free with a paid upgrade for the bells and whistles (such as ability to document sources--a highly recommended practice).
Download.com is a great way to find paid/free software, to see reviews, and consider features you may need.
Legacy, Personal Ancestral File, Roots Magic, and Reunion (great for MAC) are popular, free programs.
