The Lynds catalogue of Dark Nebulae (LDN) represents a comprehensive list of potential galactic star-formation sites. It was compiled form a study of the POSS prints. Dark nebulae have been the subject of many studies at optical, infrared, radio and m wavelengths. However, some of them are still relatively unstudied. We identified one such object, LDN 637, for investigation mainly using infrared data, with the hope of uncovering clusters of young stars. Our methodology, results and directions for future research will be discussed in the talk.
