The Astrophysical Plasma Emission Database (APED) contains atomic data for the 14 most abundant astrophysical elements collected from the literature. Although APED was originally designed for use in calculating a collisional-equilibrium X-ray spectrum suitable for analysis of high-resolution data it is in a general format which can be efficiently used to calculate absorption spectra photoionization models and non-equilibrium collisional models. We emphasize original sources; each transition rate and energy level in APED contains a bibliographic reference. The entire APED can be downloaded from http://cxc.harvard.edu/atomdb/ or our website WebGUIDE (http://obsvis.harvard.edu/WebGUIDE/) can be used to search for individual lines or transitions. We are continually working to expand APED (current version 1.3.0) and regularly issue updated collections.
I will present some new results for non-equilibrium plasmas from our upcoming release and discuss a new project AstroAtom (http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/astroatom/) a website designed to foster communication between atomic physicists and astrophysicists.
