Writing any kind of information is a good memorization aid. Writing requires your brain to consider the information carefully, translate the information into meaningful scribbles, and transfer the scribbles onto paper.

I knew that but I did not know that - if that makes any sense. I've frequently made it a point to write things down that I want to remember. It isn't that I will find the bit of paper later on - it is that I wrote it down and remember it because I wrote it down. It has been one of my key memorization aids since... Wow... Err... Since the mid 1960s. I was pretty young when I learned this about myself. I'd never actually looked to see if studies had been done or anything. I kind of figured everyone did it.

Peruse any of these articles about handwriting as a memorization aid.
