Just one year ago at the 2nd Conference on Faint Blue Stars, two review papers were presented summarizing the observational characteristics and attempts at spectral modeling of isolated magnetic white dwarfs (see Schmidt 1987 and Wickramasinghe 1987, respectively). Because much of that information is still relevant, this paper will concentrate on some of the progress which has occurred since the time of that meeting, and on highlighting current problems in the area of research. Using specific examples for illustration, the discussion concentrates on the single stars. Magnetic binary systems are considered from the point of view of the white dwarfs themselves.
