A spectroscopic census of the Fornax cluster and beyond: preparing for
  next generation surveys
  The Fornax cluster is the nearest, large cluster in the southern sky, and is
currently experiencing active assembly of mass. It is thus the target of a
number of ongoing observing campaigns at optical, near-infrared and radio
wavelengths, using state-of-the-art facilities in the Southern hemisphere.
Spectroscopic redshifts are essential not only for determining cluster
membership, but also kinematics within the cluster and identifying
substructures. We present a compilation of all available major spectroscopic
campaigns undertaken within the Fornax region, including new and previously
unpublished spectroscopy. This provides not only a comprehensive census of
Fornax cluster membership as a resource for the many ongoing studies of this
dynamic system, but also probes the large scale structure in the background
volume.
