Title: The magnetic field of the Galaxy

***********************************************************
Abstract: In recent years, the strength and topology of the magnetic field of the Galaxy have been studied by various means and on different length scales. Before describing some of the results that were obtained in those studies(part of which are based on work with the Westerbork Array) a summary will be given of the models that have been proposed for the generation of the magnetic field, as well as of the methods by which the various components of the magnetic field can be determined.
