              As a complement to our photometric studies on southern open clusters(OCs), we present preliminary results obtained from a photometric analysis in theWashington system C and T 1 passbands of some poorly known Galactic OCs. Theobservations were made using the CTIO 0.9 m telescope. Basically, we determine red-dening, distance, and age of the observed objects. The present results are part of a majorproject which aims to characterize almost a hundred OCs observed and analyzed in ahomogeneous way.
