Baryons from the lattice: past, present and future

Abstract

I review recent lattice results on the spectrum and structure of baryons. Limitations due to the quenched approximation and un-physically heavy up and down quarks are discussed, and interfaces between first principles studies of QCD (or approximations to it) and ``model building'' are highlighted.
