Data from PV, six-color, and four-color photometric observations of clusters (38 in the Small Magellanic Cloud, 16 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, four in the Fornax system, and NGC 1841) are reported. The observations were made in 1951, 1960-1961, 1959-1966, and 1974-1975 using various telescopes and photometer setups at Mount Stromlo Observatory in Australia. Tables of integrated magnitudes and colors (both as originally observed and as reduced to the BV system) are presented, and comparable published data are shown. The combined V data are fitted to the theoretical luminosity profiles of King (1966) to estimate the total magnitudes and surface brightness distributions of 33 of the clusters. Several sample profile fits are shown. A color-color plot (V-B vs. G-R) is discussed in terms of identification of cluster types by color: it is found that globular clusters can be separated from other types, if all have the same amount of reddening.
