Approximately 375 classification spectra of 130 Southern Hemisphere eclipsing binary stars were obtained between 1978 and 1982 at Mt. John University Observatory, New Zealand using the 0.6 meter reflector, and at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, Chile using the 0.4, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.0 meter telescopes. The spectra have been classified by one of us (GWW) using a grid of standards obtained on the various spectrographs at each of the observatories. Since many of the spectra were taken during primary and secondary minima, it has been possible in many cases to classify separately each component in the binaries.
