Abstract: We present the plan for the Hubble Legacy Archive, that will implement major enhancements to the current HST archive over the coming years. The user view of the archive will move toward a sky atlas rather than a collection of datasets. Access interfaces will be designed in accord with international Virtual Observatory standards. We will focus on higher-level data products than are now available, including fully calibrated and combined images, image cutouts, and object catalogs, and on improved data discovery tools. All data products will be immediately available on disk, eliminating the latency of queued data delivery. This capability will make HST data easier to obtain, combine, and compare with data from other space- and ground-based facilities.
