Very soon, we will make public here a homogeneous compilation of HI spectral parameters extracted from global 21 cm line spectra for some 9000 galaxies in the local universe (heliocentric velocity -200 < V < 28,000 km/s) obtained with a variety of large single dish radio telescopes but reanalyzed using a single set of parameter extraction algorithms. The database will contain (a) a catalog of HI parameters (systemic velocities, integrated HI line fluxes and full widths), plots of the HI spectra, and the digital spectra themselves. Subsets of the database can be extracted using VO technology and utilites.

The catalog itself is available in text files with formatting information at http://egg.astro.cornell.edu/hiarchive/ and a paper describing the archive, its preparation and contents will appear soon in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series (Springob, Haynes, Giovanelli and Kent, 2005).

We are already able to provide small subsets of the data, as time permits, to individual researchers requesting them. If you have such a request, please contact Martha Haynes.
