"The M31 Globular Cluster System"
 

I discuss the results from a new wide-field survey of the globular cluster system in M31. We have discovered a large number of new globulars.
We have obtained both Washington photometry and medium resolution spectra of a number of these clusters. We combine our results with those of previous datasets to form the most complete study of this important system. We investigate the spatial distribution, kinematics and metallicity function of the system.
