Some techniques for observing shock waves in interstellar clouds are discussed. It is concluded that recent measurements of molecular hydrogen emission provide the best currently available technique for studying shocks. The results of measurements toward the Orion nebula are discussed, and a discussion and summary of the currently known H2 sources is given.
