World of Spectrum is a website devoted to cataloging and archiving material for the ZX Spectrum home computer popular in the 1980s. The site contains an extensive database of information about games, utilities, books, hardware, etc.[1][2] From the FAQ: "The WoS is the world's biggest and most popular archive of Spectrum related material." As of October 2006, that catalog includes almost 15,000 unique entries.

It was started by Martijn van der Heide in 1995 as a website dedicated to hosting Spectrum games, but it soon grew into hosting anything and everything that was remotely connected to the ZX Spectrum.
