Abstract:
    A summary of results of the systematic UBV photoelectric monitoring of
    bright northern Be stars carried out at the Hvar Observatory between
    1972 and 1990 is presented. Altogether, 76 Be stars of all luminosity
    classes were observed and 13848 UBV measurements secured.
    Simultaneously, 9648 UBV measurements of 48 check stars (most of them
    of early spectral types) were obtained. A careful transformation of
    all observations into the standard Johnson system allowed detection
    and monitoring of even very mild long-term light and colour variations
    of these objects. Almost all early-type Be stars in the sample turned
    out to be variable. For several stars phase-locked light variations
    related to their binary nature were established. Sudden brightenings,
    on a time scale of a few days, were detected for o Cas and QR Vul.
