We describe an ongoing programme using the FORS1 spectropolarimeter on the ESO-VLT to search for magnetic fields in Herbig Ae/Be stars. Our aim is to identify the pre-Main Sequence progenitors of magnetic Ap stars, and to trace the evolution of their magnetic fields at the earliest possible stages.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
