catalogues
Organized reference booklets
Catalogues is the plural of catalogue, a systematic list or record of items—books in a library, products for sale, artworks in a collection.
To catalogue is to create such a list or to classify systematically: She spent months cataloguing the estate's contents.
The spelling catalog is more common in American English.
The museum's catalogues are available online.
