Over the past nine years, the Kepler and K2 Missions have carried out high precision photometric monitoring of more than half a million stars. Among these targets are 29 clusters and associations, with ages from 1 Myr to over 11 Gyr. We have generated a catalog of Kepler/K2 clusters, including basic information about the observations as well as the degree of scientific attention paid to them thus far. We present the catalog and a discussion of current and future cluster science endeavors as a way to motivate the astronomical community to continue mining these exquisite datasets.
