Three new ultraviolet spectral libraries of massive, hot stars using high and medium resolution spectra of objects located in the solar neighbourhood and the Magellanic Clouds are presented. Massive stars display unique wind signatures which are relatively easy to study in the ultraviolet. These libraries are crucial tools when investigating the massive stellar population of distant star-forming galaxies.
