We have completed an H-band imaging survey over 1.1deg^2^ of sky in six separate fields. The average 5sigma detection limit in a 4" diameter aperture is H 20.8. Here we describe the design of the survey, the observation strategies, data-reduction techniques, and object identification procedures. We present sample near-infrared and optical photometric catalogs for objects identified in two survey fields. The optical images of the Hubble Deep Field-South region obtained from the literature reach 5sigma detection thresholds in a 4" diameter aperture of U 24.6, B 26.1, V 25.6, R 25.1, and I 24.2mag. The optical images of the Chandra Deep Field-South region obtained from our own observations reach 5 sigma detection thresholds in a 4" diameter aperture of V 26.8, R 26.2, I 25.3, and z' 23.7mag. We perform object detection in all bandpasses and identify> 54000 galaxies over 1408 arcmin^2^ of sky in the two fields. Of these galaxies,  14000 are detected in the H band and  2000 have the colors of evolved galaxies, I-H > 3, at z> 1.
