We present a table of redshifts for 2907 galaxies and stars in the 145 arcmin(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 K(s,AB) < 24.5 measured from a deep K(s) image obtained with WIRCam on the CFHT, as well as in a table containing 1016 sources with NUV(AB) < 25 and 478 sources with FUV(AB) < 25.5 (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 mu m sources to 80 mu Jy measured from the wider area Spitzer GOODS-North. The redshift identifications are greater than 90% complete to magnitudes of F435W(AB) 24.5, F850LP(AB) 23.3, and K(s,AB) = 21.5, and to 24 mu m fluxes of 250 mu Jy. 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.
