Spectroscopy and spectrophotometry of asteroids allow us to study the composition of asteroids. However, over time a process known as space weathering can alter the spectral signal of a surface. We combine previously published asteroid family membership lists with photometry from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Moving Object Catalog. This combination allows us to study spectral trends diagnostic of space weathering within individual asteroid families. This result will allow us to shed light on how space weathering trends vary with composition and on how space weathering rates vary with distance from the sun.
