Field-book questions
What is Cornerstone?
Cornerstone is a free trade almanac — a web directory that maintains a plain, working record of websites across 22 sections and 832 current entries. It operates like a printed trade directory: entries are logged by domain, organised by trade, and kept on file as a public reference.
Is it free to list my site?
Yes, entirely. Cornerstone is free to browse and free to submit to. There are no fees, no membership tiers, and no paid-placement options. The almanac is funded as a public-access resource, not a commercial listing service.
How are sites organised in the almanac?
Entries are grouped into 22 sections by trade or industry — from wagering and medical practice to print houses and travel. Within each section, listings are ordered by submission date. There is no ranking by traffic, authority, or any other metric.
How do I add my site to Cornerstone?
Use the submission form accessible from any page. Select the section that best describes your primary trade, enter your URL, and optionally add a title and short description. Your entry will be reviewed for a working web address and, if it passes, added to the record.
How are submissions reviewed?
Cornerstone checks that submitted URLs return a working web address. The almanac does not assess content quality, editorial merit, or commercial standing — only that the site is accessible and belongs in the stated section.
Can I update or remove my listing?
To request a change or removal, use the contact details on the About page. The almanac is maintained by a small team and will action reasonable requests as resources allow.
How many sites are currently in the almanac?
The Cornerstone almanac currently holds 832 entries across 22 trade sections. The count updates as new submissions pass review and as existing entries are periodically verified.
About Cornerstone
Cornerstone is a trade almanac built to keep an accurate, working record of websites operating across commerce and industry. The almanac currently holds 832 entries distributed across 22 sections, from wagering and medicine to print trade and travel. Each entry is logged by domain and listed under the section that best reflects its primary line of business. Cornerstone does not rank, rate, or editorially assess the sites it records — it functions as a reference directory, much as a printed trade almanac would. Listings are free to submit and are reviewed for a working web address before inclusion. The almanac is updated as new submissions are received and as existing entries are verified.
