The million quasars (Milliquas) catalogue, version 2.8 (2012)

MILLIQUAS 2.8 includes data up to 27 January 2012. 1,182,964 objects are displayed, including 151232 QSOs from the literature (type I only), 20521 AGNe (ie, Seyferts for which the disk outshines the core), 1587 Bl Lacs, 928230 SDSS photometric quasars (primarily from NBCKDE and BOSS), and 81091 radio/X-ray associated QSO candidates. A radio and/or X-ray identification is shown where applicable, plus, for the photometric and radio/X-ray associated objects, the probability of each being a true quasar. These expected yields total to 1,058,835 quasars, making MILLIQUAS a true million-quasar catalog.

Here is the ReadMe for the catalog, which gives details, file layout and references for the source data. Appendix A of the ReadMe gives details of the photometric selection and processing.
