Unpolarized and Polarized Parton Distributions ============================================== Abstract: --------- Our present knowledge of the parton structure of unpolarized hadrons and photons will be briefly recapitulated, with particular emphasis on what we have learned from HERA and what this might imply for the unknown small-x region, x<10**-5. Although our understanding of polarized parton distributionss has been enormously improved during the past decade, some of them are not accessible to present experiments and accelerators. The importance of future experiments at polarized colliders such as RHIC and in particular of a polarized HERA collider will be emphasized.
