An overview of recent studies on asteroid families based on high-accuracy proper elements as well as on objective statistical methods of cluster analysis is presented. A number of asteroid families have been recognized on the basis of different methods of cluster analysis, using asteroid proper elements data sets computed via different theories. Spectroscopic observations confirm these results, indicating surface compositions of the family members in agreement with a geochemically plausible parent body. The size distribution and the taxonomic types of some well-established families indicate particular features of the family sample when compared with the field objects.
