The AGN and Galaxy Evolution Survey (AGES) is a wide-field redshift survey in the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS) Bootes field. This 9 square degree field has superb multi-wavelength coverage from Chandra, GALEX, NDWFS, Spitzer, and various radio observations. We are conducting extensive spectroscopy over the full field using the new Hectospec instrument at the MMT, with the goal of studying the evolution of AGN activity and the properties of galaxies from low to intermediate redshifts. AGES is a collaboration between scientists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Steward Observatory, the National Optical Astronomical Observatory, the Ohio State University, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
