This report is intended to provide references to works done during the triennium 1988-1990 (including references for 1987) in the general field of galactic structure.

“Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts” provides an exhaustive list of works related to galactic structure and dynamics and it is not the aim of this report to duplicate this already existing service. Only a selection of works, illustrating some trends and highlights (a subjective view !), are described here and will certainly allow a comprehensive view of the broad domain of galactic research.
