Presented here are preliminary results from a survey of supernova remnants (SNRs) in the data base collected by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS). About one-third of the known galactic SNRs are visible in the IRAS data. Confusion with other sources in the galactic plane prohibits the detection of many remnants. The objects that are detected have similar spectral characteristics and temperatures, except that the three youngest remnants known, Tycho, Kepler, and Cassiopeia A, are distinctly warmer.
