The IUE Atlas of B-type Stellar Spectra is an atlas of B-type spectra consisting of short-wavelength, high-resolution data from the International Ultraviolet Explorer archive, designed to complement the widely used O-star atlas from the same source (Walborn, Nichols-Bohlin, and Panek 1985, NASA Reference Publicaton 1155). The processing and presentation is as similar as possible to the O-star atlas, with the SWP data (roughly 1200-1900 angstrom range) rectified and rebinned to a uniform resolution of 0.25 angstrom. The atlas presented here completes the OB natural group, i.e., to spectral type B3 for the main sequence and giants, type B5 at class Ib, and B8 at Ia, which is also the most relevant domain for stellar-wind effects among normal B-type spectra.
