In this data paper we present near-infrared (
) spectra of
7 poorly-studied Be stars and of one Luminous Blue Variable (AG Car)
together with equivalent widths and radial velocities of the spectral
lines. These data will be useful for statistical purposes, long-term
studies and also for selecting specific targets for high-resolution
observations.
Previous surveys of Be stars have shown the presence of several lines
of astrophysical interest in the near-infrared spectral region: neutral
hydrogen (H
and Paschen lines), neutral helium (
,
7281), neutral oxygen (
and 
8446)
and ionized calcium (
Å). NI 
and 
and FeII 
7712
have been observed occasionally (see, for example, Andrillat et al. 1988).
