I present an overview of the science goals and achievements of ongoing spectroscopic surveys of individual stars in the nearby Universe. I include a brief discussion of the development of the field of Galactic Archaeology - using the fossil record in old stars nearby to infer how our Galaxy evolved and place the Milky Way in cosmological context.
Comments: 14 pages, 5 figures. Invited review, proceedings of the conference 'Multi-Object Spectroscopy in the Next Decade' held in La Palma, March 2015, to be published in ASP Conference Series (editors Ian Skillen, Marc Balcells & Scott Trager)
