Description:
    We describe the  results of  the ESO  Key-programme on  "Structure and
    Dynamics  of Rich Galaxy Clusters" (which  we will henceforth refer to
    as  the ESO Nearby  Abell Cluster Survey  - or ENACS).  We discuss the
    sample of clusters for which data were obtained, and the observational
    programme of spectroscopy and photometry  that  we  carried  out.  The
    final  database contains a total of 5634 galaxies in the directions of
    107  clusters from the catalogue by Abell, Corwin and Olowin 1989 (ACO
    hereafter) with richness R>=1 and mean redshifts z<=0.1.
