The study of star cluster pairs in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) has been explored extensively in the past years (Bhatia & Hatzidimitriou 1988; Rodrigues et al. 1994; de Oliveira et al. 1998). The evolution of these pairs can provide fundamental insight into the past history of cluster formation in the MCs.

We have selected MC clusters (Bica & Schmitt 1995; Bica et al. 1998) with morphologies resembling those of the present models. The images in this selection of pairs were obtained from the Digital Sky Survey (DSS). We have also performed N-body simulations of star cluster encounters under different initial conditions, with the total number of particles per simulation ranging from 1024 to 20480.
