Abstract
In this chapter we review the construction by Lichtenbaum [8] and Shafare-vitch [11] of relatively minimal and minimal models of curves over Dedekind rings. We have clpsely followed Lichtenbaum [8]; some proofs have been skipped or summarized so as to go into more detail concerning other parts of the construction. Since the main arguments of [8] apply over Dedekind rings, we work always over Dedekind rings rather than discrete valuation rings.
