Scientific paper

The proximity, well-determined distance, and low foregound obscuration of the Magellanic Clouds makes them an ideal target for the study of galactic X-ray source populations. Steady progress since the initial detection of X-rays from the LMC in 1968 culminated in the recent Einstein Observatory surveys from which over three dozen supernova remnants and about 10 compact binaries have been identified. This review records the 15-year history of Magellanic Cloud X-ray research, summarizes current knowledge, and offers a brief prospectus of what the next 15 years may hold.
