The proximity, accurately known distance and low line-of-sight reddening give the ideal circumstances to pursue studies of individual stellar populations in the Magellanic Clouds. Here we show how our understanding of the evolution and chemical composition of the planetary nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds has been impacted by imaging and UV spectroscopic studies using the Hubble Space Telescope. Images provide sizes, internal morphological structure, absolute fluxes, and dynamical ages, while spectra allow us to place the central stars accurately on the H-R Diagram, and we can also examine the details of the evolution, of mass- and age- dependent chemical dredge-up processes, and infer the star-formation history of the Magellanic Clouds.
