Mormon Directories

There are many, many Mormon-oriented Web sites available. Some of them are good; some are not. Because of the wide disparity in the quality of sites, directories of LDS-oriented Web sties are starting to spring up. The More Good Foundation has a small sampling of some such sites in our directory, accessible from the Foundation’s home page.

In looking around the Web I’ve discovered a couple of directories that seem to be pretty good. They both feature “family safe” LDS Web sites, which means they can serve as a home page for your own browser.

The first directory is known as the LDS Family Gateway to the Internet. It is operated by Allen Leigh, out of Utah. (Allen has several other popular Web pages, most of which are accessible through his Mormon home page.)

The other directory seems to be a bit newer, and is known as Mormon Central. There is no contact name given on the site, but the variety of sites indexed provides a good indication that this is shaping up to be a very comprehensive directory. The site makes it easy to suggest links to other sites; all someone needs to do is browse to the category where the link should be located and then click “Suggest Link” at the top of the page. I’ve suggested a couple of links, and they were promptly added by whoever the admin is. (This site bears watching.)

These are just two examples of this genre of sites. Do you have other directory sites you regularly use? I’d be interested in hearing from you on the matter.
