General notes

What is Lodestone79?

Lodestone79 is a structured web directory that catalogues registered domains across 22 subject series. It is maintained as an open finding aid for the web, allowing visitors to browse and discover sites by category rather than by keyword search.

Is it free to list my site?

Yes. Submission to the Lodestone79 registry is free of charge. Site operators complete the submission form, and the editorial team reviews the domain against activity and content criteria before assigning it to the relevant series.

How are sites organised in the catalogue?

All accessions are arranged across 22 subject series — from Gaming Establishments & Wagering Concerns to Computing Technology & Software Applications. Each registered domain is assigned to the series that best reflects its principal subject matter.

How do I submit my site?

Use the Add a Site form linked in the navigation. Enter your domain address and select the most appropriate series for your site. The editorial team will review the submission and notify you of the outcome.

How long does the review process take?

Most submissions are reviewed within a few working days. If your domain satisfies the registry criteria — an active web presence and content consistent with the selected series — it will be assigned a catalogue number and added to the directory.

Can I update my listing after it has been registered?

If your site details change after accession, contact the editorial team via the submission form with your domain and the updated information. The team will review the amendment request and update the record accordingly.

Are all categories equally represented?

Representation varies by series. The Miscellaneous Accessions series is the most extensively held fonds, with 189 entries. Specialist series such as Land Records & Property Holdings currently hold fewer accessions. The catalogue reflects the volume and variety of submissions received over time.

What happens if my site is not accepted?

If a submission does not meet the registry criteria — for example, if the domain is inactive or the content is inconsistent with the selected series — it will not be admitted to the catalogue. Operators are welcome to resubmit once the relevant issues have been resolved.
