Optical-region elemental-abundance analyses were performed for ten sharp-lined main sequence B and A stars. The derived abundances are generally in good agreement with those of the Sun. Multiple high dispersion spectrograms, fully line-blanketed solar composition model atmospheres, optical spectrophotometry, and the most accurate gf values were employed. This study provides initial parameters for studies of these stars in the ultraviolet and a consistent set of values for comparison with abundances of more exotic stars.
