The star clusters have always been the most important tools of testing the stellar evolution theories and when these stellar systems belong to other galaxies, then our knowledge on stellar evolution can be extended for different initial conditions than those of our Galaxy. The Magellanic Clouds being our nearest neighbour galaxies offer ideal conditions for such studies.

Since the powerful southern telescope came into operation deep plates of these two galaxies revealed a large number of new star clusters. The Schmidt plates are most useful since they have the advantage of large field where many objects can be investigated homogeneously on the same plate.
