The last few years have seen a revival of interest in charm spectroscopy with more than a dozen new states being reported and hundreds of new theoretical investigations being published. The advent of the B-factories (1,2), with their large, charm-rich data samples, has proven crucial to the discovery and investigation of new charm hadron states, but other experiments have confirmed and complemented the B-factory observations. Much interest has been generated by several new states that do not appear to be easily incorporated in the conventional picture of charm and charmonium mesons. Here, the focus is on the latest experimental results in charm spectroscopy and the determination of the nature of the recently discovered states. Recent experimental results in charm and charmonium spectroscopy are reviewed.
