The catalog contains data and bibliographical citations for all 70 associations of the second edition of the "Catalogue of Star Clusters and Associations (CSCA)" edited by Alter et al. (1970) which includes data for open clusters, associations, globular clusters and extragalactic objects up to 1967 and "Supplement to the CSCA" by Ruprecht et al.

The catalog includes the years of the literature, references, authors, abbreviated journal references, diameters, distances and color indices of the associations, number of stars and spectral types of the stars in the associations, and identification of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey Chart on which the association appears.
