NGC 625 is a dwarf irregular galaxy in the nearby Sculptor group which is experiencing a strong burst of star formation. Its close proximity and high galactic latitude make it a very desirable target to help us to understand the starburst phase of dwarf galaxies. WFPC2 observations are needed to combine with existing HI synthesis imaging, ground based optical imaging and spectroscopy, and x-ray imaging in order to construct a coherent model for this starburst. Specifically, we need high resolution optical imaging at V and I in order to reconstruct the recent star formation history. This will allow us to assess the impact of the burst on the HI and the development of the x-ray emission in a self-consistent way. Our ultimate goal is a better understanding of the average duration of bursts of star formation and the duty cycle for bursting star formation in dwarf galaxies through comparative studies of nearby systems.
