Abstract
We present a complete atlas of optical spectra of white-dwarf stars. S pectra for all major spectral classes and subclasses are illustrated, and the variation of the dominant spectral features as a function of e ffective temperature and abundance is documented. We present, as well, spectra of several peculiar or rare types of degenerate stars.
