Radio galaxies are an important class of extragalactic objects: in their own right they represent one of the most energetic astrophysical phenomena; they may be used as probes of their environments; and they are unique probes of the early Universe. The size scales and brightness levels which HST can measure are ideally suited to studying the optical emission associated with the host galaxies of radio sources and anomalies such as jets and tidal debris. We propose a PC continuum snapshot survey of the 3CR catalog to address the following issues: What are the host galaxy morphologies - are there differences between FR-I and FR-II sources, nuclear cusps, tidal tails? How common are optical jets? Do optical continuum and radio structures align and is there detailed morphological correspondence? How common are dust-lanes and nuclear dust-discs, what is their orientation and morphology? Since the 3CR is so well-studied, we have an excellent pre-existing database for correlation studies between the optical properties and observations at other wavelengths, from the radio to the X-ray, including ground-based optical data, and so it should be possible to clearly disentangle the effects of power from evolution and environment.
