We extracted about 500 short wavelength prime (SWP) (high-dispersion) International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) spectra of B0 to B8 stars of all luminosity classes for the purpose of creating a stellar library. Several hundred scientifically useful high-dispersion B-star spectra are in the IUE Archive. The data were taken either with the purpose of performing stellar-wind studies or investigations of interstellar absorption lines. Due to the nature of these projects, the S/N of the data is the maximum achievable with the IUE satellite. Rountree and Sonneborn and Walborn, Parker, and Nichols extracted a subset of B spectral classification standards from the IUE Archive to construct atlases of IUE high-dispersion spectra. Their work served as our guideline for the data extraction.
