Abstract:
  UBV CCD photometry has been obtained for 14 OB associations in the
  Magellanic Clouds using the University of Toronto's 0.6m telescope
  and the Carnegie Institution of Washington's 1.0m reflector, both on
  Las Campanas, Chile. The data are presented and used to construct
  color-magnitude diagrams for the purposes of investigating the
  massive-star content of the associations.
