Recent optical work on Seyfert galaxies is summarized, particularly on their spectral classification, morphology, companions, and presence in clusters of galaxies. Their general continuity with QSOs and with Liners is emphasized. Methods of finding additional Seyfert galaxies and of assembling a complete sample for investigating the luminosity function of AGNs are also discussed.
