In the past ten years, more than 775 low resolution spectra of white dwarfs have been taken with the International Ultraviolet Explorer satellite (IUE). This wealth of information has yielded many new discoveries in the field of white dwarf research; a few of which include: the λ1400 and λ1600 quasi-molecular features discovered in hydrogen rich DA white dwarfs (Greenstein 1980; Wegner 1982, 1984; Nelan and Wegner 1985; and Koester et. al. 1985), strong C I lines in some DQ white dwarfs (Koester, Weidemann, and Vauclair 1980; Wegner 1981a,b), and the absence of these same lines in hotter DB white dwarfs by Wegner and Nelan (1987) which may indicate convective mixing (Pelletier et al. 1986).
