The catalog is a compilation of the observed projected rotational velocities, V_rot_sin(i), for 28179 stars from 166 open clusters, globular clusters and associations. The catalog.dat file contains 39351 individual V_rot_sin(i) data, together with the error and the method of determination. Because of the possible confusion with the use of different names for stars belonging to clusters we have included alternative names using SIMBAD nomenclature. Rotational velocities from CDS catalogue III/226 (Glebocki+ 2000) are included. Information about the number of stars in each cluster as well as other cluster names can be found in the "clusters.dat" file. The bibliographical references are provided in the "refs.dat" file. The file "mean.dat" contains mean Vsin(i) values for each star. The individual vsin(i) measurements were reduced to a uniform standard (to remove the systematic errors) and a weighted average of Vsin(i) was calculated. The Vsin(i) values used as standards are presented in the "standards.dat" file.
