• We present a table of redshifts for 2907 galaxies and stars in the 145 arcmin super(2) HST ACS GOODS-North, making this the most spectroscopically complete redshift sample obtained to date in a field of this size. We also include the redshifts, where available, in a table containing just under 7000 galaxies from the ACS area with [image] measured from a deep [image] image obtained with WIRCam on the CFHT, as well as in a table containing 1016 sources with NUV[image] and 478 sources with FUV[image] (there is considerable overlap) measured from the deep GALEX images in the ACS area. Finally, we include the redshifts, where available, in a table containing the 1199 24 [mu]m sources to 80 [mu]Jy measured from the wider area Spitzer GOODS-North. The redshift identifications are greater than 90% complete to magnitudes of [image], and [image], and to 24 [mu]m fluxes of 250 [mu]Jy. An extensive analysis of these data appear in a companion paper, but here we test the efficiency of color-selection techniques to identify populations of high-redshift galaxies and active galactic nuclei. We also examine the feasibility of doing tomography of the intergalactic medium with a 30 m telescope.
