This paper reviews the attempts that have been made to derive the ages and compositions of star clusters from studies of their integrated light. It discusses what can be learned by such methods regarding the history of the Magellanic Clouds. Finally, it reviews what is known about the age-spread and abundance-range in the cluster-systems of other galaxies and considers the history of the Magellanic Clouds in this context.
