In 1939, Helen Sawyer Hogg published a catalogue of variable stars in globular clusters to enable researchers interested in the subject to get a clear picture of exactly what work had been done. Updates to the catalogue were produced in 1955 and 1973. All three editions were published in the Publications of the David Dunlap Observatory, University of Toronto.

In 1997, Christine Clement, with the assistance of University of Toronto undergraduate students, Tara Rosebery and Quentin Dufton, put the third edition of the catalogue into electronic format. The material from Sawyer Hogg's card catalogue was also included.
In 2001 and again in 2002, the catalogue was further updated
using references listed in the Astronomy and
Astrophysics Abstracts (published for Astronomisches Rechen-Institut by
Springer-Verlag) and the
NASA Astrophysics Data System.
A summary was published in a 2001 paper by C. Clement, A. Muzzin, Q. Dufton,
T. Ponnampalam, J. Wang, J. Burford, A. Richardson, T. Rosebery, J. Rowe and H. Sawyer Hogg
(2001, Astronomical Journal, Volume 122, pages 2587-2599).
Christine Clement is currently (2009) working on a revision and update
to the catalog.
