Official gazettes and legislation databases: directory

This directory lists official gazettes and legislation databases, with the body that publishes each one and what it holds. Each cell comes from the publisher's own page or the law that governs it. A gazette prints laws and notices in date order. A database arranges laws by title. The status of online text varies. The electronic EU Official Journal is authentic ¹, and Singapore Statutes Online says its text is unofficial ². Blank cells mean the page read did not state the fact.
