Plate Catalogs, Digital Optical Sky Surveys, and Finding Charts

Many relevant contributions on this matter can be found in Digitized Optical Sky Surveys (MacGillivray and Thomson 1992), in the newsletters of the IAU Working Group on Wide-field Imaging (contact the editor, H. T. MacGillivray at hmg@star.roe.ac.uk for copies), and in the proceedings of the IAU Symposium 161 (MacGillivray et al. 1994).
