A survey is given of the polarization properties of pulsars. Many pulsars, although showing pulse-to-pulse variations in polarization, have a stable mean polarization characteristic. Several pulsars like 0833-45 show changes in the position angle of linear polarization across the pulse which can be interpreted as due to the changing direction of the magnetic field as envisaged in the oblique magnetic dipole model of pulsars. Faraday rotation measurements when taken with dispersion measures yield values for the interstellar magnetic field of several microgauss.
