Abstract
Observations of Andromeda (M31) are critically important to studies of globular clusters and the role these objects play in the formation and evolution of galaxies and galaxy haloes. M31 possesses the most numerous globular cluster population in the Local Group. It is also the nearest large spiral system to the Milky Way, and the only other large galaxy where globular clusters may be resolved into stars using presently available technology.
