We present a sample of 291 type II AGNs at redshifts 0.3&lt;z&lt;0.83 from the spectroscopic data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. These objects have narrow (FWHM&lt;2000km/s), high equivalent width emission lines with high-ionization line ratios. We describe the selection procedure and discuss the optical properties of the sample. About 50% of the objects have [O III] {lambda}5008 line luminosities in the range 3x10^8^-10^10^L_{sun}_, comparable to those of luminous (-27&lt;M_B_&lt;-23) quasars; this, along with other evidence, suggests that the objects in the luminous subsample are type II quasars.</description><source format="bibcode">2003AJ....126.2125Z</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/126/2125</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/123/567">J/AJ/123/567 : SDSS quasar catalog, I: Early Data Release (Schneider+, 2002)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/126/2579">J/AJ/126/2579 : SDSS quasar catalog.
