The Astrophysics Data Facility (ADF), in association with the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) archives and distributes UV and Optical Astronomical datasets of interest to NASA-supported researchers. These include: IUE [IUESIPS and Final Archive]; public HUT, UIT and WUPPE data from the Astro missions; ORFEUS-SPAS EUVS; OGLE; and Copernicus data. We have developed several new user interfaces to access this data which feature: Science based queries; Quick-look Browsers; Archival data selection and ordering tools; and data delivery tools. Our main user interface is the Web Interface for Searching Archival Research Data (WISARD), which is a multi-wavelength (X-ray, UltraViolet, Optical and Infrared), multi-mission interface to various astrophysics data archives. WISARD can search for and retrieve data located at different archive sites in a single session. WISARD uses the SIMBAD, NED, and ADS archives for astronomical object and bibliographic information (in addition to the SIMBAD and NED name-to-coordinate conversion service). WISARD also uses the STSCI DADS, HEASARC, EUVE Public Archive and NDADS archives for science data access. WISARD supports both on-line (IUE, WUPPE and UIT) and external data browsers (HST/GHRS). In addition, selected on-line browsers (IUE, HUT, WUPPE, and UIT) are available through interfaces separate from WISARD and browse data for IUE and HUT can be down-loaded directly from their respective browsers.
