+ Add your siteVellum98 is an open web directory that catalogues websites across 22 subject sections. It operates as a finding aid: sites are filed by category so visitors can browse relevant entries without needing a search query.
Use the accession form linked from any page. Provide your URL and a brief description of the site. Submissions are held as pending until reviewed; approved entries are added to the permanent register.
There is no charge to submit or to appear in the Vellum98 catalogue. The directory is free to use for both browsers and submitting parties.
Review times vary. Most submissions are processed within a few days. Once approved, your entry will appear in the catalogue under the relevant section; no separate notification is sent.
Sites are arranged across 22 subject folios, from Clinical Health Services to Games of Chance. Each site is filed under the single most relevant category. The Miscellaneous Holdings section accommodates entries that span categories.
The catalogue does not currently support self-service updates to existing entries. If a correction is needed, submit a new accession with the updated details and note the change in the description field.
Vellum98 is maintained as part of a network of open web directories. The catalogue and its holdings are managed by the directory editorial team, who review submissions and maintain the register.
Vellum98 is an open web directory maintained in the tradition of the catalogued index. Eight hundred and fifty approved sites are arranged across twenty-two subject folios, each assembled from direct submissions by the operators of the listed sites. Sections span health, finance, travel, technology, media, and several specialised trades. The archivist approach informs each section: entries are filed systematically, described briefly, and made available without editorial preference. Any site may apply for inclusion via the accession form; each submission is reviewed before being added to the permanent register. Vellum98 exists as a navigable record — a finding aid for the web.
