Abstract:
   We present CCD photometry and spectroscopy for stars in Lucke-Hodge 58,
   an isolated OB association in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)
   northwest of 30 Doradus. The photometric catalog contains 839 stars
   with UBV magnitudes complete to V~19. We have obtained spectra
   and classified 35 stars; combined with previous published spectral
   types, we find 22 O-type stars. The earliest type is O3-4 V, and there
   are three WR stars in the association. The slope of the initial mass
   function, Gamma=-1.7+/-0.3, is in good agreement with other LMC
   associations. The presence of several evolved supergiants with masses
   about 15-25M_{sun}_ suggests that some star formation took place as early
   as 10 million years ago, but the majority of stars formed coevally
   within the past few million years.

Note (1): A colon, ":", indicates that the error in magnitude or color (i.e.
           the weighted average of the photometric errors for that star as
           calculated by DAOPHOT) is greater than two times the error listed
           in Table 2 in the printed paper. Two colons, "::", indicate errors
           greater than three times the typical value.
