We present a catalog of 56 candidate intermediate-mass eclipsing binary systems extracted from the third data release of the All Sky Automated Survey. We gather pertinent observational data and derive orbital properties, including ephemerides, for these systems as a prelude to anticipated spectroscopic observations. We find that 37 of the 56, or ∼66%, of the systems are not identified in the Simbad Astronomical Database as known binaries. As a specific example, we show spectroscopic data obtained for the system HI Mon (B0 V + B0.5 V) observed at key orbital phases based on the computed ephemeris, present a combined spectroscopic and photometric solution for the system, and give stellar parameters for each component.
