Database of Galaxies and their parameters

In summary, a "Database of Galaxies and their parameters" is a centralized collection of information about galaxies and their physical and chemical properties. It is compiled and maintained by a team of astronomers and scientists and is used for research and comparison of galaxies. The data is collected through observations and simulations and is publicly accessible through various astronomy databases.

HI,

I am looking to find a table of galaxies, their masses, types, black hole mass and dark matter content. Does anyone know if such a place exists anywhere on the internet? I'm trained in physics but is not a physicist - more a hobbyist. Any suggestion that you might have will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

As long as there is no reason to think that the data might not be accurate, the age should not matter.
