catalogue

Organized reference list

Catalogue is the British spelling of catalog—a systematic list of items, typically with descriptions: a library catalogue, an auction catalogue.

As a verb, to catalogue is to compile such a list or to record systematically: She spent years cataloguing the museum's collection.

The word extends to any comprehensive enumeration: a catalogue of complaints, a catalogue of errors.
