What the Goldleaf Index is
The Goldleaf Index is a free, human-curated catalogue of the web — at present some 793 sites arranged across 22 departments. It is built for unhurried, topic-led browsing, in the manner of an old reference room rather than a feed.
How it is kept
Every listing is read by a person before it is shelved and filed under the department it belongs to. We favour the genuinely useful over the merely promotional, and we keep the rooms tidy so they remain pleasant to walk through.
Adding your site
Listing is free, with no catch and no expiry. Choose a department, add your address, and a neat gold-edged entry joins the catalogue. If you leave the description blank, we will fetch a sentence from your site for you.
Editorial policy
We aim for a calm, dependable shelf. Entries that are broken, misleading or out of place may be moved or removed to keep the index trustworthy for everyone who browses it.
