Find good sites,
the friendly way.

Ephemera is a free web directory maintained as an expedition log of the open web. It catalogues 838 approved sites across 22 sections, each covering a distinct area of the web, from travel operators and dental clinics to technology firms and media outlets.

Yes, entirely. There is no charge to submit a site, no account to create, and no premium tier. If your site is approved after review, it is listed at no cost for as long as it remains active.

The directory is divided into 22 sections, each named in the manner of a field station or supply post: Expeditions & Waypoints for travel, Field Medics & Remedies for health, Instruments & Digital Tools for technology, and so on. Each submitted site is assigned to the section that best fits its primary territory.

Visit the Add a Site page, select the most appropriate section, and fill in your site name, URL, and a brief description. Submissions are reviewed before they appear in the log, which typically takes a short time.

Yes. Every submission is checked before it appears in the Ephemera log. Sites that are not active or accessible, or that do not have readable content, are not approved. The review is simple but consistent.

The log has 22 sections covering a wide range of topics, including a catch-all section called Open Survey for sites that do not fit neatly elsewhere. If your site covers a legitimate topic and is accessible to visitors, there is almost certainly a section for it.

The Ephemera log is updated continuously as new submissions are reviewed and approved. The recently-added listings on the home page reflect the most current entries in the record.
