The most complete list of visual binary systems with known orbital elements is compiled. It is based on OARMAC and ORB6 data and contains 3139 orbits for 2278 pairs. A refined subset of high quality orbits with available distance was also compiled. Relations between and distributions along different observational parameters are constructed, and an analysis of selection effects is made. Dynamical, photometric and spectral masses of systems are estimated, and reasons for discrepancies between them are discussed.
