This compilation gives 125 trigonometric parallaxes with validated probable errors of 0".020 or less which were published prior to the 1952 and 1963 parallax catalogs but are not included in them. The compilation consists of 26 photographic parallaxes from modern parallax series, 45 older photographic parallaxes, 31 heliometer parallaxes, 22 meridian circle parallaxes, and one filar micrometer parallax. Thirty of these parallaxes have probable errors of 0".005-0".010, 52 have probable errors of 0".011-0".015, and 43 have probable errors of 0".016-0".020. These probable errors have been calibrated by comparison with a weighted average of spectral-photometric and modern trigonometric parallaxes. Original sources and the rationale for calibration of probable errors are given for each parallax.
