The disk boundaries of coronal holes have been systematically determined from XUV observations taken during the manned Skylab missions (June 1973-January 1974). The resulting atlas was used to find the sizes, global distributions, differential rotation rates, growth/decay rates and lifetimes of holes during this period. The polar cap holes together covered 15% of the sun's total surface area, a number which remained surprisingly constant throughout Skylab despite the fact that each pole was independently evolving in time. Lower latitude holes contributed another 2 to 5%.
