World Wide Web Virtual Library (VLIB) - The oldest directory of the Web. The World Wide Web Virtual Library was the first index of content on the World Wide Web and still operates as a directory of e-texts and information sources on the web. It was started by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of HTML and the Web itself, in 1991 at CERN in Geneva. Unlike commercial index sites, it is run by a loose confederation of volunteers, who compile pages of key links for particular areas in which they are expert; even though it isn't the biggest index of the Web, the Virtual Library pages are widely recognised as being amongst the highest-quality guides to particular sections of the Web. It is sometimes informally referred to as the "WWWVL", the "Virtual Library" or just "the VL".

The largest directory of the web. Its open content is mirrored at many sites, including the Google Directory. The Open Directory Project (ODP), also known as dmoz (from directory.mozilla.org, its original domain name), is a multilingual open content directory of World Wide Web links owned by Netscape that is constructed and maintained by a community of volunteer editors.

The Yahoo! Directory is a web directory which rivals the Open Directory Project in size. The directory was initially Yahoo!'s primary offering. When Yahoo! changed to crawler-based listings for its main results in October 2002, the human-edited directory's significance dropped, but it is still being updated. The Yahoo! directory offers two submission options: "Standard", which is free, and "Yahoo! Express", which involves a submission fee. Yahoo! provides both a search engine and a directory service, and the directory is searchable separately from the rest of their search engine results.
