    We present a table of redshifts for 2907 galaxies and stars in the 145 arcmin super(2) HST ACS GOODS-North, making this the most spectroscopically complete redshift sample obtained to date in a field of this size. We also include the redshifts, where available, in a table containing just under 7000 galaxies from the ACS area with image measured from a deep image image obtained with WIRCam on the CFHT, as well as in a table containing 1016 sources with NUVimage and 478 sources with FUVimage (there is considerable overlap) measured from the deep GALEX images in the ACS area. Finally, we include the redshifts, where available, in a table containing the 1199 24 mum sources to 80 muJy measured from the wider area Spitzer GOODS-North. The redshift identifications are greater than 90% complete to magnitudes of image, and image, and to 24 mum fluxes of 250 muJy. An extensive analysis of these data appear in a companion paper, but here we test the efficiency of color-selection techniques to identify populations of high-redshift galaxies and active galactic nuclei. We also examine the feasibility of doing tomography of the intergalactic medium with a 30 m telescope.
