The International Ultraviolt Explorer (IUE) was the first space UV telescope able to observe a supernova event and follow it during its luminosity decline. This was made possible not only by the sensitivity of the instrument, but also by the observatory-like mode of operation, which allows quick reaction to the announcement of a supernova discovery. Indeed in the case of SN 1982b the first spectroscopic observation after its discovery was obtained by IUE, which on that occasion also provided an accurate positional fix for the supernova with respect to the nucleus of the parent galaxy NGC 2268. To date, six supernovae were observed with IUE and a summary of the observations is reported. The Atlas presented here consists of an observing log, photographs of the spectra (coded in false color), plots and flux tables: a detailed description of these contents is given.
