The largest and most uniform dataset on the histories of star formation will be created with the ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury (ANGST) program and the Archival of Nearby Galaxies: Reuse, Reduce, Recycle (ANGRRR) programs, which aim, respectively, (1) to secure complete and uniform HST imaging of a volume-limited sample of galaxies out to 3.5 Mpc, and (2) to obtain homogeneous reductions of archival WFPC2/ACS imaging data of galaxies out to a distance of about 5 Mpc. These will provide some of the best and deepest data for the closest galaxies, with derived star-formation rates at ages from tens of Myr to a few Gyr. We request one night on the Kitt Peak 2.1-m telescope to obtain H(alpha) imaging for a sample of 13 galaxies with existing HST ACS and WFPC2 data. Since there are no published H(alpha) data for these 13 galaxies, our data will pin down the present-day star-formation rate in the construction of their subsequent histories of star formation.
