In this paper some of the major results from the COSMOS and APM digitised galaxy surveys are presented. The main motivation behind these catalogues was to study large-scale structure in the universe. We begin by outlining the importance of such studies to cosmology and discussing the early results from the visually compiled galaxy catalogues. The impact of the digitised catalogues is demonstrated by focussing on three key areas of research; the galaxy-galaxy two-point angular correlation function, the cluster-cluster spatial correlation function, and galaxy number counts.
