HH 34 is characterized on the basis of CCD optical images obtained with the 1.5-m ESO Danish telescope in December 1982 and January 1985, 600-900-nm and 645-680-nm spectra obtained with a CCD detector on the 4-m CTIO telescope in January 1985, NIR photometry obtained with the UKIRT in December 1984, 2.12-micron H2 observations obtained with the 7-m KPNO telescope in December 1984, and (C-12)O, CS, and (C-13)O radio observations obtained with the 7-m mm-wave antenna at Crawford Hill during January-April 1985. The data are presented in tables, graphs, contour maps, spectra, and images and discussed in detail. A highly collimated six-knot shock-excited jet of length about 8000 AU and heliocentric radial velocity about -60 km/s is found to extend toward HH 34 from a 0.5-solar-luminosity low-mass premain-sequence star with an emission-line spectrum, red continuum, and NIR excess. The jet knots are shown to be surrounded by a tenuous bow-shaped envelope, while the jet source is embedded in a 0.1-pc-diameter 4-solar-mass molecular-cloud clump with mean H2 volume density greater than 10,000/cu cm.
