The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), in collaboration with the Space Telescope - European Coordinating Facility (ST-ECF) and the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre (CADC), is developing an enhanced archive for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The primary enhancements include: 1) making HST data VO compatible, 2) improving the science products for the earlier instruments (e.g., CR-rejected multidrizzled images for the WFPC2), 3) providing "real time" access to the data (i.e., having the data online), 4) providing more extensive "composite images" (e.g., stacked images, mosaics, etc.), 5) improving absolute astrometry (i.e., from 1-2" to 0.3"), 6) adding a footprint service to make it easier to browse and download images, 7) extracting spectra from slitless spectroscopic data , 8) developing source catalogs for applicable datasets. The HLA entered the Early Data Release phase (e.g., 25% of the ACS data) of the project on July 31, 2007. The talk will briefly review the existing capabilities, and then focus on future plans for Data Release 1 (DR1), scheduled for January, 2008. Demonstrations will be provided at the Space Telescope Science Institute booth during the conference and people will have the opportunity to use the system interactively.
