A survey for Long-Period Variables has been made of the Bar and southern regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud. This has been combined with the results of Reid, Glass and Catchpole (1988) to present a global survey of the LMC. Periods are used as age indicators, giving the star formation history of the LMC from 1 to 10 Gyr, which indicates a major burst of star formation occurred approximately 4 Gyr ago.
