Abstract

The Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Victoria (Canada) reports two major strides towards creating public spectral libraries from its own observations. The observations are of two kinds: recent CCD data recorded at the coud´e focus of the 1.2-m telescope and at the Cassegrain focus of the 1.8-m telescope, and digitized historic spectra from the substantial archive of photographic spectra furnished by both telescopes. The poster sketched the current status of those libraries, described the steps being taken to expand them, and presented plans for the immediate future.
