We report on a program capitalizing on the availability of XMM Optical Monitor(XMM-OM) ultraviolet (UV) photometry to study galaxy evolution in clusters. We have produced a sample of ten nearby Abell clusters with XMM-OM, SDSS, and GALEX photometry, including nearly 800 objects with SDSS spectra and XMM-OM UV photometry. Of these, over 500 are galaxies belonging to the parent cluster sample. We use this large database to explore color-magnitude relations and identify various classes of objects. We further demonstrate the application of XMM-OM UV photometry to evaluate the star formation histories of galaxies. Support for this work is provided by NASA Award Number NNX09AC76G.
