Einstein observations of supernova remnants have been reviewed and analyzed. Images of 44 galactic remnants have been reprocessed, merged when necessary, and collected into a catalog. Some bright remnants were viewed with both moderate and high resolution instruments (IPC with 1’ resolution and HRI with 4” resolution). Some IPC images of nearby remnants have been separated into 2 energy bands, 0.2–0.6 keV and 0.6–4.5 keV; whereas most images cover the band 0.2–4.5 keV. The catalog consists of 72 images of the 44 remnants.

These images will be published in the form illustrated here. Contour levels are spaced geometrically as indicated below the figures and show the faintest observable features. The pictures are more linear and generally show only the brighter regions. Images are available now, however, in FITS format, on magnetic tape and may be obtained by writing to the author.
