The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is rich in young stars and interstellar matter, facilitating the determination of galactic star formation histories through the study of star distributions as a function of star age and the comparison of the distributions with those of interstellar matter. Measurements in the UBV available for some 1600 LMC members. Interstellar reddenings were derived from the positions of the stars in the two-color diagram. Star ages are derived by comparison with the evolutionary calculations of Maeder (1981). Data on supergiants are combined with that on Cepheids available in the literature to produce a small computer film displaying the distribution of stars as a function of age.
