Fourier coefficients are a valuable tool in the study of a wide variety of pulsating stars. They can be used to derive various physical parameters, including mass, luminosity, metallicity and effective temperature and are frequently used to discriminate between different pulsation modes. With the increase in large-scale surveys and the availability of data on the Internet, the number of Fourier coefficients available for study has expanded greatly and it is difficult to find all current data for individual stars or a subset of stars. To assist others in obtaining and making use of Fourier coefficients, an archive of published values of Fourier coefficients has been set up. Users can search for data on individual stars or for a range of parameters. Several Java programs are used to display the data in a variety of ways. The archive is located at the Web site http://www.earth.uni.edu/fourier/.
