On large ( 10 Mpc) scales we observe that galaxies align into filaments, clusters, and walls, with large void regions between them that are (mostly) empty. Void galaxies, occupying these underdense regions, are an environmentally defined population whose isolated nature provides an ideal sample to test theories of galaxy formation and evolution. Additionally, their existence poses a well defined observational constraint to Lambda-CDM cosmological models. I will discuss my work examining the gas content and star formation history of 60 geometrically selected void galaxies in a new Void Galaxy Survey (VGS), and highlight individual void galaxies which may exhibit evidence of ongoing gas accretion.
