  Asteroseismology can make a substantial contribution to our understanding of
the formation history and evolution of our Galaxy by providing precisely
determined stellar properties for thousands of stars in different regions of
the Milky Way. We present here the different sets of observables used in
determining asteroseismic stellar properties, the typical level of precision
obtained, the current status of results for ages of dwarfs and giants and the
improvements than can be expected in the near future in the context of Galactic
archaeology.
