We present compiled radio continuum spectra for 200 Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) from 220 known and included in Green's (1998) catalog. These spectra include most of the measurements available in literature, as well as multi-frequency measurements of nearly 120 SNRs with the RATAN-600 radio telescope in 1, 2 and 4 Galactic quadrants and from the Galactic plane survey at 960 and 3900 MHz. The measurements have been placed on the same absolute flux density scale. The presented compilation has given a possibility of plotting quite accurate spectra with the thermal plasma free-free absorption in fitting the spectra accounted for. An analysis of 190 spectra showed that 70 SNRs (37%) have clear low-frequency turnover caused, apparently, by absorption in the thermal foreground of the Milky Way. We did not find considerable correlation between spectral index and Galactic coordinates $l$ and $b$ of SNRs. The turnover frequencies do not correlate with $l$ and $b$.
