High quality H-alpha and H-beta spectra of a sample of 29 Seyfert 1 galaxies and low redshift QSOs are presented. The typical resolution is about 3 A and the signal-to-noise in the continuum exceeds 50:1 in most H-alpha spectra. The sample extends over a range of nine magnitudes in absolute luminosity. The broad line profiles have been isolated by subtracting the continuum and blending lines, including the narrow components of H-alpha and H-beta, and the H-beta/H-alpha ratios as function of velocity are derived and included in the atlas.
