This thesis represents the first wide-field photometric and
spectroscopic survey of star clusters in the nearby late-spiral
galaxy M33. This system is the nearest example of a dwarf spiral
galaxy, which may have a unique role in the process of galaxy
formation and evolution. The cold dark matter paradigm of galaxy
formation envisions large spiral galaxies, such as the Milky Way,
being formed from the merger and accretion of many smaller dwarf
galaxies. The role that dwarf spiral galaxies play in this process
is largely unclear. One of the goals of this thesis is to use the
star cluster population of M33 to study its formation and evolution
from its early stages to the present. The thesis presents a new
comprehensive catalog of M33 star clusters, which includes
magnitudes, colors, structural parameters, and several preliminary
velocity measurements. Based on an analysis of these data, the
thesis concludes that, among other things, the evolution of M33 has
likely been influenced by its nearby massive neighbor M31.
