BeSS is a database containing a catalogue of Be stars and their spectra, set up more than 10 years ago as a collaboration between professional and amateur astronomers. It currently contains over 177000 spectra of 2340 stars, provided by ~150 different observers. Its continuous success has already led to the use of BeSS data in more than 70 scientific papers.
