Abstract. A comprehensive compilation of experimental results on two-photon initiated reactions with hadronic final states is presented. Processes with both quasi-real and virtual photons are encoded. The data divide into results with exclusive and inclusive anal states. The exclusive channels listed include vector meson production. The inclusive results encompass total cross-sections, photon structure functions and jet measures. Where appropriate these are compared with theoretical models and expectations. The two photon widths of meson resonances are tabulated, being the principal outcome of many experiments. This compilation was completed in march 1994. All the data in this review can be found in and retrieved from the Durham-RAL HEP databases (HEPDATA on CERNVM and DURPDG VAX/VMS, and on the World-Wide-Web) together with data on a wide variety of other reactions.
