Sites are organised into twenty-two chapters corresponding to broad subject areas — from Journeys & Destinations to Ledgers & Exchange. Within each chapter, entries are listed in the order they were submitted and accepted into the record.
Use the submission form linked from the top of every page. Provide your site URL and select the chapter that best describes its subject matter. A short description is helpful but not required. Submissions are reviewed before appearing in the Codex.
Yes. Every submission is reviewed before being added to the Codex. We check that the site is accessible and that the chapter assignment is appropriate. Most decisions are made within a few days of receipt.
No. Each site is recorded in a single chapter — the one that best describes its primary subject. Submitting the same site to multiple chapters is not permitted and duplicate entries will be removed from the record.
Most submissions are reviewed and added to the record within a few days. If your submission has been pending for more than a week, check that the URL you submitted is publicly accessible and try again.
Codex is a freely browsable web directory that has chronicled 832 websites across 22 subject chapters. Each entry was submitted and recorded as found — a plain account of what is online, organised for easy reference. The directory spans an intentionally broad range of subjects, from the practical to the specialist, and welcomes new submissions from site owners who wish their work to be recorded. Codex makes no editorial judgements on the entries it holds; it serves as an index, not an authority. Browse by chapter, or submit a site to add a line to the record.
