Ephemera7 began as a collector's instinct applied to the web — the sense that a careful, section-by-section catalogue of online services and establishments could be genuinely useful, in the way that a good index is always useful: it tells you where things are. The index currently holds 835 catalogued entries across 22 subject sections, from Parlours of Chance and Counting Houses to Veterinary Surgeries and Print Works. Each section reflects a genuine distinction in the kinds of services catalogued within it; the curator's intent has been to keep related entries together and to separate fields that are often conflated in broader directories. Adding a site to Ephemera7 is straightforward. Visitors are invited to submit any legitimate web property via the submission form, providing a site address, a brief description, and a subject section. Submissions are reviewed before being confirmed, and the catalogue is updated accordingly. There is no charge for submission. The index is named after the curatorial tradition of collecting ephemera — the ticket stubs, handbills, invoices, and miscellaneous printed matter of daily life that would otherwise be discarded. Applied to the web, this spirit suggests that even the most quotidian online service deserves to be recorded somewhere, accurately and without fuss. Ephemera7 is maintained as a straightforward reference: no rankings, no editorial opinion, no advertising weight given to particular listings. The goal is simply to keep an accurate, growing record of the web in its present state.
