Sundial Societies, Groups and Websites of the World.
Explore the world of sundials! Here we list several of the world's sundial-related websites together with their URLs and their Popularity as at 14 November 2013. Some here are the sites of national or sub-national sundial societies. Some are sundial information sites.
Where a web site does not have a section devoted to your own language then installation and use of Google's Website Translator is recommended to provide a transaltion.
The world's known sundial websites are listed in the table below the plot. The plot here shows the main websites and their popularities as measured using their Alexa Rank. Where a separate UK rank is given by Alexa then this is plotted in red. This website is identified here as "UK-SunInfo"). Please note that Popularities are not listed where there was no declared Alexa Rank in November 2013 or where the sundial page is a minor page of a very much larger site.
