Scientific paper

The Catalogue of Wide-Field Plate Archives (CWFPAs, version 5.2 from July 2008) contains the information for 440 plate archives stored in astronomical observatories and institutions all over the world. It is an integrated part of the Wide-Field Plate Database (WFPDB) aiming to store the valuable astronomical plate observations (more than 2,200,000 wide-field plates or films) and quickly to offer the opportunity to see back in time records of interesting astronomical phenomena. The Catalogue provides information for the location (storage) of the plate archives - site and country; for the observatory, where the archive was made - name, site, country, Marsden's number, time zone, coordinates and altitude; for the archive instrument - original name, clear aperture, mirror diameter, focal length, scale, type, field size and years of operation; for the number of direct and objective prism plates; for the archive type, quality and the name of astronomer in charge for possible contacts. Search for plate archives can be made using the WFPDB instrument identifier (equal to archive identifier), which constitutes from the WFPDB observatory identifier, instrument aperture, and possible suffix to the instrument identifier in the cases when more instruments with the same aperture exist in the observatory.
