We present a volume-limited sample (d < 850 pc) of open clusters in the Galaxy identified from our studies on galactic open clusters based on data from the all-sky catalogue ASCC-2.5 with absolute proper motions and B, V magnitudes of 2.5 million stars. The astrophysical properties of this sample are discussed.
