This paper reviews the Lick Northern Proper Motion (NPM) program, describing its goals, organization, and methods, summarizing its progress, and outlining the work remaining for the future. The first phase of the NPM program (outside the Milky Way) is now nearing completion. A detailed description of the NPM program has been given by Klemola, Jones, and Hanson (1987). Recent results using the NPM data in a study of solar motion and galactic rotation are presented in a separate paper in this Symposium.
