We present systematic spectral analyses of GRBs detected by the Fermi
Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) during its first two years of operation. This
catalog contains two types of spectra extracted from 487 GRBs, and by fitting
four different spectral models, this results in a compendium of over 3800
spectra. The models were selected based on their empirical importance to the
spectral shape of many GRBs, and the analysis performed was devised to be as
thorough and objective as possible. We describe in detail our procedure and
criteria for the analyses, and present the bulk results in the form of
parameter distributions. This catalog should be considered an official product
from the Fermi GBM Science Team, and the data files containing the complete
results are available from the High-Energy Astrophysics Science Archive
Research Center (HEASARC).
