The cluster populations of nearby starburst galaxies provide a valuable tool for unlocking the detailed star-formation histories of these systems, and for shedding light on the processes governing star formation in starburst events. We have obtained broad and narrow-band HST/WFPC2 images of the active regions of three nearby starburst galaxies (M83, NGC 3077, and NGC 5253). Our analysis of their cluster populations reveals sharp, short-duration starburst events in each galaxy. In NGC 5253 we find no clusters older than 20 Myr, perhaps evidence for accelerated cluster destruction processes in that galaxy.
