Abstract The structural parameters of Galactic globular clusters are studied. It is found that the distribution of post-core-collapsed clusters is much more concentrated about the Galactic center than the distribution of King (1966) clusters. A distance-independent analysis was used to address the problem of Galactic obscuration. The fact that some internal properties of clusters correlate well with global variables, such as the galactocentric radius, suggests that some external effects are important in cluster evolution.
