Poster Title: Star formation history of dwarf galaxies in the M81 group.

Abstract: We derive quantitative star formation histories of 16 dwarf irregular galaxies in the M~81 group. The galaxies were observed with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 aboard the Hubble Space Telescope as a part of the Snapshot Survey of Probable Nearby Galaxies. We use synthetic color-magnitude diagrams to derive the ages of the major star formation episodes, star formation rates, and approximate metallicity ranges.
