Directories


The Web CCVI Library site

 

Fast Fact

Yahoo started life in 1994 as a directory of other web sites, organized in a hierarchy, as opposed to a searchable index of pages. It still maintains one of the best directories on the Web.


Web Directories list web sites by subject category. They are not search engines as such, but many are searchable internally with their own search software. Usually the lists are assembled by human editors, so greater quality and relevance often result.


Open Directory Project (dmoz)

Maintained by volunteers, it claims to be the largest Web directory.
