Summary

While observations of distant galaxies allow us to probe the cosmic past, only our own Galaxy provides a detailed fossil record that reveals its complete formation history. IAU S334 presents a summary of the astrometric, spectroscopic and photometric surveys that will unveil Milky Way's inner- and outermost regions.
