The Catalog and Atlas of Cataclysmic Variables (2001, PASP 113, 764) is a web-based version of our previously published catalogs (Downes and Shara 1993, PASP 105, 127; Downes, Webbink, and Shara 1997, PASP 109, 345). The data in this version supersedes that in the published catalogs, and contains the latest information on the objects. The catalog was frozen on February 1, 2006, and no new information will be added.

A final version of the catalog was published in the Journal of Astronomical Data (Vol. 11) and that publication includes all the information in the database, as well as the finding charts (i.e. jpg images); to request a "reprint" CD with the catalog, please send email to library@stsci.edu (after March 1, 2006).
