Lausanne University’s Institute of Astronomy has been collecting stellar photometric data since 1970. Our collection contains data for some 170,000 stars in 78 photometric systems. This database has been used in various applications: comparison of systems, Hipparcos Input Catalogue, studies of star samples, etc. With CCD detectors we are facing a new challenge, since a great deal of information is obtained, mainly for star clusters. But unfortunately, a policy for archiving these data has not yet been established. This is an urgent problem to solve, all the more so as in many cases only a part of the data is published. A solution to this problem is discussed here.
