Guide to Supernova Information

We have complied the following lists to aid in searches for more information about supernovae and their remnants. The 4 lists cover WWW sites with general supernova references, catalogs and observations, the homepages of other supernova research groups, and references to the literature, which are unfortunately largely still unavilable in hypertext form. If you have suggestions to add to these lists feel free to email us at wwweb@tycho.as.utexas.edu .
