Surveys using CCD detectors are retrieving bright and faint cataloged clusters and revealing new ones in the Magellanic Clouds. This paper discusses the contribution of the OGLE Survey to the overall census of star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). A detailed cross-identification indicates that the new objects in the SMC OGLE catalog are 46. The increase in the number of cataloged clusters is approximate to 7%, the total sample being approximate to 700. This updated census includes embedded clusters in H II regions and a density range attaining loose systems.
