The SAGA Survey (sagasurvey.org) is a spectroscopic survey with data obtained from the Anglo-Australian Telescope, the MMT Observatory, and the Hale Telescope at Palomar Observatory. The SAGA Survey made use of public imaging data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys, and the Dark Energy Survey, and also public redshift catalogs from SDSS, GAMA, WiggleZ, 2dF, OzDES, 6dF, 2dFLenS, and LCRS. The SAGA Survey was supported was supported by NSF collaborative grants AST-1517148 and AST-1517422 and by Heising–Simons Foundation grant 2019-1402.

The SAGA team thanks Emily Sandford for suggesting the acronym "SAGA".
