In this paper we review the history of the search for and study of the motions of nearby galaxies with respect to the Hubble Flow. The current status of the field is that (1) convincing infall has been detected into dense clusters, especially the Virgo cluster, (2) the microwave background direction is moderately well aligned with the measured flow nearby but not apparently on larger scales, and (3) there is good but not perfect consistency between the nearby density fields and velocity fields. Particular problems exist in the different Ω's required to fit the density field derived from optically selected and IRAS (60μ) selected galaxy samples.
