  We report on the use of the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) to identify radio
galaxie s in eighteen nearby Abell clusters. The listings extend from the cores
of the clusters out to radii of 3 Mpc, which corresponds to 1.5 Abell radii and
approximately four orders of magnitude in galaxy density. To create a truly
useful catalog, we have collected optical spectra for nearly all of the
galaxies lacking public velocity measurements. Consequently, we are able to
discriminate between those radio galaxies seen in projection on the cluster and
those which are in actuality cluster members. The resulting catalog consists of
329 cluster radio galaxies plus 138 galaxies deemed foreground/background
objects, and new velocity measurements are reported for 273 of these radio
galaxies.
  The motivation for the catalog is the study of galaxy evolution in the
cluster environment. The radio luminosity function (RLF) is a powerful tool in
the identification of active galaxies, as it is dominated by star-forming
galaxies at intermediate luminosities and active galactic nuclei (AGN) at
higher luminosities. The flux limit of the NVSS allows us to identify AGN and
star- forming galaxies down to star formation rates (SFR) less than 1 solar
mass per year. This sensitivity, coupled with the all-sky nature of the NVSS,
allows us to produce a catalog of considerable depth and breadth. In addition
to these data, we report detected infrared fluxes and upper limits obtained
from IRAS data. It is hoped that this database will prove useful in a number of
potential studies of the effect of environment on galaxy evolution.
