The present status of the work on the creation of a Wide-Field Plate Database is reported. It is planned to collect the available information for about 1.5 million plates from 187 wide-field instruments in 71 institutes/observatories. The source data are from 213 plate catalogues, 65 of them in computer-readable form. The structure and content of the Wide-Field Plate Database, now including 51 observation catalogues with more than 300,000 plates, is presented.
