The study of the Small and the Large Magellanic Clouds is a 9reat privilege of the astronomers in the southern hemisphere. Their importance is mainly due to the small distance from us (50 and 63 kpc), which allows the astronomer to observe in them fine details and faint objects. In addition, the Clou.ds appear to be in an evolutionary stage quite different from that of our own galaxy, as witnessed for instance by the relatively high percentage of mass in gaseous form. In order to gain more understanding of the evolution of stars and galaxies, it is therefore very important to investigate in the Magellanic Clouds questions such as th~ metal content or the detailed properties o.f regions of star formation and death. Astronomers have been going after these questions for years and one can imagine that the forthcoming large E:SO telesco-pe will help-elucidating many of the present problems.
