The machine-readable Durchmusterungen - Classical catalogs in contemporary formThe entire series of Durchmusterung (DM) catalogs (Bonner, Southern, Cordoba, Cape Photographic) has been computerized through a collaborative effort among institutions and individuals in France and the United States of America. Complete verification of the data, both manually and by computer, the inclusion of all supplemental stars (represented by lower case letters), complete representation of all numerical data, and a consistent format for all catalogs, should make this collection of machine-readable data a valuable addition to digitized astronomical archives.
