Abstract: These notes provide a detailed catalog of surface charge formulas for different classes of gravity theories. The present catalog reviews and extends the existing literature on the topic. Part of the focus is on reviewing the method to compute quasi-local surface charges for gauge theories in order to clarify conceptual issues and their range of applicability. Many surface charge formulas for gravity theories are expressed in metric, tetrads-connection, Chern-Simons connection, and even BF variables. For most of them, the language of differential forms is exploited and contrasted with the more popular metric components language. The gravity theory is coupled with matter fields as scalar, Maxwell, Skyrme, Yang-Mills, and spinors. Furthermore, three examples with ready-to-download notebook codes, show the method in full action. Several new results are highlighted through the notes.
