The acquisition, preparation and distribution of machine-readable astrometric data by the Astronomical Data Center (ADC) are described. Examples of certain general changes in data structure and format to improve compatability with other computers and software processing systems and to increase storage efficiency are discussed, as are the present data archive and request history of the ADC. Current development work in the areas of astrometric and positional catalogs is described.
