We announce the availability of a new online resource through the High Level Science Products program at the Multi-Mission Archive at Space Telescope (MAST). We have reprocessed the entire far-ultraviolet sight line database of stars observed with the FUSE satellite in both Magellanic Clouds (186 in the LMC, 100 in the SMC) using the final version of the FUSE calibration pipeline, CalFUSE 3.2. Where multiple data sets were available, they have been co-added to improve data quality. We show subsets of these data in several formats, along with 20 arcmin FOV optical and infrared context images for each sight line. The data formats include a set of spectral postage stamps of interstellar absorption lines aligned on a velocity scale, an enlargement of the spectral region near the important O VI doublet lines, and an overview spectrum of the entire FUSE spectral range for each object. The imagery includes optical Halpha, [S II], and [O III] emission line images and infrared 3.6, 8, and 24 micron data from Spitzer. These context images are available as three color composites in each band and as individual images in black and white.

The availability of these diverse data sets in a convenient online interface provide a significant quick look capability that will allow researchers to effectively utilize this rich archival FUSE data set for a wide variety of science investigations.
This project has been funded through a NASA FUSE Cycle 5 Legacy program grant NNG05GE03G to The Johns Hopkins University.
