The Magellanic Clouds are the ideal site for detailed studies of the dynamics and structure of the interstellar medium (ISM), being both close enough to study in some detail but far enough away to study on large scales. Using the Curtis Schmidt with its > 1 deg^2 field of view, we have undertaken a complete, deep optical emission-line CCD survey of both Clouds in the emission of H(alpha), [S II] (lambda)6724, and [O III] (lambda)5007. We have completed the bulk of the observations, and are now ``cleaning up'' fields left over due to weather and other problems. The optical survey alone will provide an extensive database for studies of supernova remnants, HII regions, planetary nebulae, superbubbles, and other ISM structures. In addition, we (in collaboration with other groups) are pursuing parallel surveys at X-ray (ROSAT) and radio wavelengths, as well as in broad-band optical filters. The combination of these datasets will provide a rich database to allow the detailed study of the ISM and the physical processes which determine its structure and drive its evolution at all scales. We will make the optical database available to the public on a reasonably short time scale to ensure maximal use of the data.
