distance catalogs

I am compiling a list of distance estimates of deep sky objects, just for my
own purposes. I want to annotate my observing notes with distances and perhaps
draw schematic charts in the future.
I show what I've found valuable below. I need help in locating:
(1) Distances of emission nebulae (apart from planetaries) and reflection
nebulae. The Cederblad catalog
(http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/Cat?VII/231) is supposed to have
distances but it dates from 1946.
(2) Better yet, if anyone else maintains an online consolidated catalog of
distances, I wouldn't have to do this. This site: http://galaxymap.org/
has some interesting features. It's downloadable database has clusters,
molecular clouds, HII regions and individual stars.
Here are the sources I'm using so far:
Open clusters:

Globular clusters:

Planetary nebulae:

Dust clouds:
