We present initial results of a study of low surface brightness dwarf galaxies within galaxy clusters at z ≤ .03 as part of our program to determine the clustering properties, luminosity functions, and morphologies of dwarf galaxies in a wider range of cluster environments. In addition to deep V-band images covering up to 1 deg2 in each of 13 different clusters, we have obtained velocities from fiber spectroscopy for 235 galaxies in A3526. In A3526, we find a drop in cluster galaxy counts at intermediate magnitudes which is supported by our spectroscopic results.
