Nearest stars to Earth

The Nearby Stars Database (NStars) began as a NASA project in 1998, then was based at Northern Arizona University. It is now defunct. The stated mission of NStars was "to be a complete and accurate source of scientific data about all stellar systems within 25 parsecs." The website (see below) included search tools and links to an interactive forum.
