We present an updated UBVRI photometric catalog containing 970 objects in thefield of M31, selected from the Revised Bologna Catalog (RBC v.4.0), including965, 967, 965, 953, and 827 sources in the individual UBVRI bands,respectively, of which 205, 123, 14, 126, and 109 objects do not havepreviously published photometry. Photometry is performed using archival imagesfrom the Local Group Galaxies Survey, which covers 2.2 deg^2 along the majoraxis of M31. We focus on 445 confirmed `globular-like' clusters and candidates,comprising typical globular and young massive clusters. The ages and masses ofthese objects are derived by comparison of their observed spectral-energydistributions with simple stellar population synthesis. Approximately half ofthe clusters are younger than 2 Gyr, suggesting that there has been significantrecent active star formation in M31, which is consistent with previous results.We note that clusters in the halo (r_ projected>30kpc) are composed of twodifferent components, older clusters with ages >10 Gyr and younger clusterswith ages around 1 Gyr. The spatial distributions show that the young clusters(<2 Gyr) are spatially coincident with the galaxy's disk, including the `10 kpcring,' the `outer ring,' and the halo of M31, while the old clusters (> 2 Gyr)are spatially correlated with the bulge and halo. We also estimate the massesof the 445 confirmed clusters and candidates in M31 and find that our estimatesagree well with previously published values. We find that none of the youngdisk clusters can survive the inevitable encounters with giant molecular cloudsin the galaxy's disk and that they will eventually disrupt on timescales of afew Gyr. Specifically, young disk clusters with a mass of 10^4 M_\odot areexpected to dissolve within 3.0 Gyr and will, thus, not evolve to becomeglobular clusters.
