US Patent Office has my curve site in reference section: http://www.uspatentinfo.com/patentInfoResources_dic.html . The page existed at least form 2003-12 to 2005-03. (Local copy as of 2003-12 us_patent_200312.zip, from web.archive.org as of 200603)
(Professor) Mathematician Dave Rusin's THE MATHEMATICAL ATLAS. Dave Rusin is a math professor at the Northern Illinois University. His 'atlas' is an extremely useful overview of modern mathematics. He has a link to my WallPaper Groups (http://xahlee.org/Wallpaper_dir/c0_WallPaper.html) at the groups category: http://www.math.niu.edu/~rusin/known-math/index/20-XX.html. (begin aroun 1999 ~ 2004-01) (local copy as of 200603: Dave_Rusin_200603.zip)
(Professor) Mathematician Richard Palais's surface gallery page. http://rsp.math.brandeis.edu/3D-XplorMath/Galleries/Catalogs/MainCatalog.html (local copy as of 200603: vmm_math_uci_edu_200603.zip).
This link existed starting about 1998. Richard Palais has since became a personal friend, and i have become a member of his 3D-XplorMath Consortium.
(Professor) Mathematician David Eppstein's Geometry Junkyard (url collection) has 9 links to my site. http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/junkyard/index.html (localy copy as of 200603: geo_junkyard_200603.zip)
Geometry Center. The Geometry Center is a mathematics research and education center at the University of Minnesota. Geometry Center went out of funds around 1998, and now part of it became scienceu.com
Computer Software for Tiling, Compiled by Doris Schattschneider, Moravian College http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/software/tilings/TilingSoftware.html (2004-01 - 2006-03) (local copy as of 200603: geo_center_200603.zip)
scienceu.com on tiling http://www.scienceu.com/geometry/articles/tiling/refs.html (2004-01 - 2006-03) (Local copy os of 200603: scienceu_200603.zip)
Math Forum. The Math Forum is originally known as Geometry Forum, and is originally hosted and associated with Swarthmore College (PA, USA). They focus on high-school and college level math education. They are the very first website to have huge collection of math materials, as early as 1995. For a period of time from about 2000 to 2002, they invited me to host my website on their server free of charge. My website xahlee.org was hosted by them in this period. (before 2000-01, i do not have dedicated domain name, and my website wast hosted by www.best.com/~xah starting about 1996-02. Best.com is a tiny hosting company located in Mountain View, CA, USA. Around 1998 they are bought by verio.com.
One of the thing Math Forum do is to collect math resources on the web, and they are the earliest if not the first to have a comprehensive link database of math materials on the web. (In the mid 1990s, search engines are not there yet) They have several links to my site before my site was hosted by them.

This one is by Math Forum and The Textile Meseum. (see Wikipedia Textile Museum↗).
In this online exhibition: Symmetry and Pattern: The Art of Oriental Carpets. (1997-2005) by The Textile Museum and The Math Forum @ Drexel, at: http://mathforum.org/geometry/rugs/resources/links.html. Local copy as of 2006-06 mathforum_textile_museum.zip, contains a link to my Wallpaper Exposition.
MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive is from the St.Andrew University of Scotland. They are one of the first large site covering mathematics and in particular math history. Very well-known as early as 1995, and probably still is the best math history site as of 2006. They have a “Famous Curves Index” which is a exposition over some 60 plane curves. (http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/%7Ehistory/Curves/Curves.html), and, almost every page has a link to one of my pages of plane curves.
Here's is a comprehensive page of their external links: http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/%7Ehistory/External/external_links.html (local copy as of 200603: www-history_mcs_st-andrews_ac_uk_200603.zip) They have several domains, and in around 2001 or so they have at least also: www-groups.cs.st-and.ac.uk, which is defunct in at least 2006.
Canadian Mathematical Society's Knot a Braid of Links selects a quality math site each week, since about 1997 or earlier. The quality or depth of their selected site varies.
My Visual Dictionary of Special Plane Curve at http://xahlee.org/SpecialPlaneCurves_dir/specialPlaneCurves.html was selected in 1996-04, and my WallPaper Groups at http://xahlee.org/Wallpaper_dir/c0_WallPaper.html is selected in 1997-11.
Their site around 2000 used to be http://www.camel.math.ca/Recreation/kabol/96best.html, but as of 2006-03 it is http://www.math.ca/cgi/kabol/search.pl. (local copy as of 200603 knot_links_200603.zip)
National Taiwan University (台大數學) 's online Math Links section contains 2 links to my site. One to my Plane Curves project and one to my Wallpaper Groups project. These links existed in circa 2001 to 2006-06. http://www.math.ntu.edu.tw/link/math_field_geo.htm (Local copy)
National Engineering Education Delivery System (http://www1.needs.org/database/records/courseware/448.html , link existed at least around 2000.)
The bookmarking site del.icio.us has many links to my site. See http://del.icio.us/. (Local copy as of 200603: delicious_200603.zip)
I used to main all links to my site. In late 1990s, there are thousands of links to my site, from personal sites to educational institutions, mostly on my Visual Dictionary of Special Plane Curves and other math materials. In each month, i would process my web log and list new links to my site. Here's a 2000 Jan version of this page, which contained new links i found in the previous month, and it contains over 2000 links. linksToMySite_200001.html.gz. See the same page at internet archive: http://web.archive.org/web/20000817202924/http://www.xahlee.org/PageTwo_dir/Bookmarks_dir/linksToMySite.html
