SUMMARY:Extragalactic Globular Cluster Systems: Relics from the Early 
 Epochs of Galaxy Formation\, Special Astronomy Colloquium\, Dr. Eric P
 eng\, Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics & Peking Universi
 ty
DESCRIPTION:Globular clusters are our most easily accessible local win
 dow onto the high redshift Universe.  Visible out to distances of hund
 reds of Mpc\, they are the "tip of the iceberg" for the oldest stars -
 - populations which are otherwise extremely difficult to study in dist
 ant galaxies. <br>
\nHST and ground-based surveys of nearby galaxy clu
 sters are transforming our view of these halo populations.  I will dis
 cuss the ways in which extragalactic globular systems are teaching us 
 about galaxy assembly\, and will present recent results from the ACS V
 irgo and Fornax Cluster Surveys\, the HST/ACS Coma Cluster Treasury Su
 rvey\, and the Next Generation Virgo Survey.
