The Las Campanas / Anglo-Australian Telescope Rich Cluster Survey (LARCS) is a long-term project, now in its eighth year, to study a statistically reliable sample of the richest galaxy clusters in the southern hemisphere in a redshift slice 0.07 < z < 0.15. The project has completed wide-field (2 degree) B and R-band imaging from the 40" telescope at Las Campanas Observatory (Chile) of some 20 clusters, totalling over 70 square degrees of sky. These images are being used to select galaxies for subsequent spectroscopic follow-up with the 400-fibre 2dF multi-object spectrograph on the 3.9m AAT in Australia. We are rapidly approaching our aim of obtaining spectra for some 10,000 galaxies in these clusters; providing an unprecedented view of the dynamics of rich clusters, the stellar populations of their galaxian components, their star-formation histories and their evolution. This talk will review the observational construction of LARCS, recent photometric results and will preview forthcoming spectroscopic results concerning galaxy evolution in these systems.
