Abstract
Because the supernova remnants (SNRs) in other galaxies are at well-defined distances and because in many cases the reddening within extragalactic samples is more uniform than is the case for the Galactic SNR sample, extragalactic SNRs are fundamental to improving our understanding of SNR evolution. Here methods for identifying SNRs are reviewed and the current status of observational research is explored. The data do not unambiguously support the simple Sedov picture of SNR expansion, although it may be that the data can be reconciled with this picture if sufficient variation in initial conditions are allowed.
