Descripción
The formation and evolution of Local Group galaxies can be studied in the greatest possible detail thanks to the possibility of obtaining photometry and spectroscopy of their individual stars. I present an overview of different methods that can be combined for their study, and discuss recent results on the star formation history of a sample of Local Group isolated dwarf galaxies, and the Large Magellanic Cloud.
