  The HST data archive contains images of several nearby spirals, suitable for
detailed studies of the properties of individual star clusters and their
surroundings. By combining structural information derived from HST images with
ground-based photometry, it is possible to study cluster properties as a
function of age and mass. While both the core- and effective radii of young
clusters correlate with mass, the slopes of these relations are shallower than
for a constant-density relation, implying that the mean density increases with
cluster mass. This must be accounted for in theories for cluster formation.
