Abstract A program has been developed at the INEL to produce new enhanced editions of the original Gamma-ray Spectrum Catalogues for presentation in electronic format. This program has produced the first version of the Catalogues in CD-ROM format and will offer them on the Internet through the Gamma-ray Spectrometry Center Web Site at INEEL. The original content of the Catalogues has been expanded to include integrated decay scheme drawings, tables of related decay data, and updated material on the techniques of gamma-ray spectrometry. All of the original spectral plots, gamma-ray energy and intensity data, and text were converted to digital format, related decay data from the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF) and decay scheme graphics were then added, and all data converted to the Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format. Follow-on versions of the catalogues are being expanded to include prompt neutron capture and n-n' spectra and spectra representing the response of large-volume Ge detectors. Large-volume Ge detector spectra will be calculated, using Monte Carlo and parametric fitting techniques presently under development. Examples of content and details of the advanced technology applied to produce these new volumes will be presented. Services and content of the Gamma-ray Spectrometry Center Web Site will also be described.
