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.
