In the recent years a huge and always increasing number of quasars have been detected and identified from various sky surveys. This leads to a large quantity of data with various and inhomogeneous informations in terms of astrometry, photometry, radioastronomy and spectroscopy. Therefore we have decided to make a general compilation of the largest number of recorded quasars obtained from all the available catalogues, with their best position estimates and by retaining the tabulated physical information available both at optical and radio wavelengths. This catalogue compilation named LQAC (Large Quasar Astrometric Catalogue) gives, for each quasar, the equatorial coordinates, multiband photometry, radio fluxes, redshift, luminosity distances and absolute magnitudes (Souchay et al. 2008b).
