  I present near-IR photometry of a selected sample of E+A galaxies observed in
the southern hemisphere. The sample includes 50 galaxies from nearby clusters
(z ~ 0.05) and distant clusters (z ~ 0.31) as well as E+A galaxies from the
field (z ~ 0.15). I have also observed 13 normal early-type galaxies from the
field and from clusters, to be compared with the E+A sample. The photometry
includes J, H and Ks apparent magnitudes and colors. I investigate systematic
properties of the E+A sample as a function of their environment, contrasting
the observed colors with spectrophotometric models of galaxy evolution.
