To study the large scale structure of the Universe, we started several years ago the compilation of a new type of catalogue – a metacatalogue of optical extragalactic objects, on magnetic tape. This catalogue may be regarded to some extent as a data bank but it will also include characteristics, reduced to homogeneous systems. The Metacatalogue will contain information for galaxies, clusters of galaxies, counts of galaxies and bibliographical data. Until now some files for individual catalogues and lists have been created, which may be used also before their merging into the Metacatalogue.
