It is at present difficult from the literature to intercompare ages of clusters in the Magellanic Clouds owing to the variety of ways in which authors have interpreted the observational data and the several theoretical models used. With these considerations in mind we have embarked on a homogeneous investigation of clusters within a sky area of about 1 square degree. Because of its large concentration of clusters, we have chosen for study the so-called Bok region (Bok and Bok 1969) located in the northwestern part of the LMC bar. Photographic BVRI color-magnitude and color-color diagrams are provided for the 14 clusters listed in Table 1. None of these clusters have had previous stellar photometry in R, I and only four of them in the BV passbands.
