AGES, the AGN and Galaxy Evolution Survey, is a spectroscopic survey of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey Bootes field. We have obtained redshifts of roughly 17,000 galaxies and 3,000 AGN over the nine square-degree field using the Hectospec multi-object spectrograph on the MMT. The AGES galaxy sample consists of a highly-complete set of galaxies with I<20 selected based on their optical or infrared properties using the NDWFS and Spitzer IRAC and MIPS imaging of the field. AGES is senstive to L* galaxies to z=0.5 and provides a complementary data set to DEEP-2 which did not target galaxies at z<0.7 over most of their survey area. Active galaxies were selected in AGES based on their X-ray flux, 24 micron flux, or red mid-infrared colors and results in 1250 objects at z>1, 208 at z>2.5, and 3 objects with z>5. In this talk, I will provide an introduction to the survey and discuss several scientific applications of the AGES spectra.
