Create database for records retention inventory

I want to create an access database that will track all of our open and
closed files. I would like to have fields for department (with dropdown),
category + subcategory (with dropdowns) file name, dates from and to,
status: whether open, closed, destroyed, etc.) location & box number etc.
I'm not a very experienced access user, so if there is already a template out
there, I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Can anyone point me in the right
direction?
