Summary of Talk:
New, large, ground and space based telescopes are contributing to an
exciting and rapid period of growth in observational cosmology.
The subject is now far from its earlier days of being data-starved and unconstrained, and new data are fueling a healthy interplay between observations and experimant and theory. I report here on the status of measurements of a number of quantities of interest in cosmology:
the expansion rate or Hubble constant, the total mass-energy density, the matter density, the cosmological constant or dark energy component, and the total optical background light.
