High School [Curiosity] Are there any central databases of Red Shift?

Click For Summary
Central databases for redshift data include resources like the PRIMUS database, which catalogs over 200,000 astronomical objects, and the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED), which offers extensive information on various celestial bodies. These databases serve as valuable tools for researchers and enthusiasts interested in the redshift of stars, galaxies, and other astronomical entities. While accessing and navigating these databases may require some learning, they provide comprehensive datasets for analysis. Utilizing these resources can enhance understanding of cosmic structures and their distances. Overall, these databases are essential for anyone studying redshift in astronomy.

I'm curious to know if there are any central databases of red shift - whether stars, galaxies or other objects.

I always thought it was odd that we know dark energy expands our universe, and that we know it has been increasing over time, yet no one ever expressed a "true" size of the universe (not "observable" universe, the ENTIRE universe) by just reversing the process of expansion based on our understanding of its rate through history, to the point where everything would've been in an extremely small region. The more I've looked into it recently, I've come to find that it is due to that "inflation"...
