From August 10 - September 8, 1996, a coordinated set of observations were taken by SOHO and other ground-based and space-based instruments, of the large-scale, solar minimum corona under the auspices of the Whole Sun Month (WSM) campaign. These special observations, along with other, standard synoptic observations, have been brought together into a comprehensive combined dataset. The goals of the WSM campaign are to use these data to study and quantify the large-scale physical properties (i.e. densities, temperatures, velocities, and magnetic field) in the solar minimum corona between 1 and 3 solar radii, and also to study the connections between coronal structures and in situ observations. In this poster we will present a synoptic overview of the solar observations that were taken, including data from the following instruments: SOHO/UVCS, SOHO/LASCO, SOHO/EIT, SOHO/SUMER, SOHO/CDS, SOHO/MDI, YOHKOH/SXT, Wilcox Solar Observatory (WSO), Mauna Loa MkIII Coronagraph, and NSO/Sacramento Peak. (A companion poster will present the synoptic in situ data). We will present these data both in the form of movies and of Carrington maps.
