Correlations between globular cluster (GC) properties are reviewed, including some new work on cluster tidal radii and densities. Most of the observed correlations can be interpreted within the framework of our current understanding of their dynamical evolution. These correlations provide empirical constraints for models of GC formation and evolution.
