[en] The Photonuclear Data Center is continuing to maintain current with the published literature its data abstract files and at the same time build up a library of selected cross section data in digitized form. This library now contains data for over 400 cross section curves measured for 87 different materials covering 47 elements. Within its limited resources the Center is furnishing on request both selected annotated indices and bibliographies covering specific types of data or reactions as well as what it considers to be the best available data for specific cross sections for specific nuclei. Data are primarily furnished on data abstract sheets. As the digitized cross section library is developed, information will also be furnished in digital or large scale graphical form. A listing of new Photonuclear Data Index entries covering the data entered into the Center's files since the publication of NBS Special Publication 322 (Photonuclear Data Index, June 1965-January 1970) will be prepared for distribution to workers in the field at the time of the September 1972 meeting to be held in Sendai, Japan on Nuclear Structure Studies using Electron Scattering and Photoreactions. A complete, updated cumulative index to the published data for the field is scheduled for publication at the time of the Asilomar, California, International Conference on Photonuclear Reactions and Applications (March 1973). The plans to evaluate the data in the Center's files and publish a comprehensive, annotated compilation of the best available information on the photonuclear interaction have received a big boost with the assignment of a KAS-NRC, Nuclear Information Research Associate to work with the group for a two-year period starting in September 1972. The objective of the proposed ''atlas'' will be to present, in a uniform format, all of the information relevant to the interaction of photons with nuclei in such a way that it is readily available and useful not only for theoretical and experimental physicists working in the field but also for various applied users of such data in areas of activation analysis, radiation shielding, medical physics, etc.
