Origami Links

Origami on the Web

As you probably already know, paperfolding has carved itself quite a little niche in the Internet. You can find Web-based origami supply stores selling books, paper, and other origami products; there are origami newsgroups and online chats; there is a Yahoo Club dedicated to origami; there is a popular origami email list, with members spread across the globe; origami organizations both in the US and abroad have Web sites; and there are over a hundred origami Web pages, located on computers all around the world. In fact, a search for the word 'origami' at AltaVista.com finds over a hundred thousand Web pages!

Hopefully this area of my site will give you a glimpse into what other origami resources are available on the Web. I certainly can't promise that I've listed every origami Web site. However, I welcome your input! If you have found an origami-related site which you think should be listed on my site, please let me know!
