Abstract
The replies to the questionnaire of the Working Group on Astronomical Data (IAU Commission 5) were favourable to centralization of information concerning plate vaults. Some observatories have a file recording the plates which is usable by computer and some publish their lists regularly, for example, the Haute-Provence Observatory and the Tokyo Astronomical Observatory (Kiso Information Bulletin). Thus we have a basis to start centralizing this information. However, the most important task will be to enable other observatories to participate also in this collaboration. Bearing this in mind, I propose that the “central file” contains, at least at the beginning, only the minimum of information necessary.
