The use of data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and the number of refereed publications produced from this data, are now dominated by HST archival research. The Hubble Legacy Archive (HLA) has been constructed as a means of providing a heightened level of HST archival data to the astronomical community. The development of source lists is a part of this effort. In this poster we provide a general examination of the current strategy and the steps being taken to produce source lists for HST's Wide-Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) imaging data included for Data Release 3 (DR3) in May of 2009, and to be included for Data Release 4 (DR4) of the HLA in January 2010, respectively. The HLA currently provides, and will continue to provide in the future, both Source Extractor- and IRAF DAOPHOT-based source lists to facilitate the needs of the community in the identification of extended and point sources, respectively. These source lists are created from drizzled, combined, and astrometrically corrected WFPC2 images. An increased level of precision in source detection and refinement will provide the next generation of WFPC2 data for use by the community.
