We have carried out an extensive survey of faint galaxies in order to examinethe rise in the merger rate with redshift and to study the statisticalrelations between close interacting galaxies and the field galaxy population.In this paper we present the catalogs of faint pairs and groups of galaxies of46 equatorial fields taken with the CTIO 4m prime focus. The data set contains73,988 galaxies covering a total area of 2.23~deg$^{2}$. We have found 1751isolated pairs and 30 groups of galaxies within $19
