Abstract
OB Associations are snapshots of the star formation process in the galactic plane, and they are our primary laboratories for studying this process. They provide direct constraints on initial mass functions, runaway stars, stellar evolution, gas dynamics, binary populations, and the interaction of the Galaxy and star forming material. For a review see Blaauw (1964).
