The International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) was launched on 26th January 1978 and is still fully operational today, with several more years hopefully to come. After six months, the fully–reduced data is consigned to public–access archives maintained by the project agencies (NASA, ESA, and SERC). Thus, in addition to observations from current and future programmes, there are ~12,000 high–dispersion (Δλ ~ 0.15Å) spectra readily available now for research on stars hotter than about mid-B type. Furthermore, a uniform reprocessing, with optimum schemes, of all past IUE images has begun, to create the Final Archive which will be made accessible on–line through optical disk storage systems and will ensure the value of IUE data well into the future.
