We present a photometric catalogue of star cluster candidates in Hicksoncompact groups (HCGs) 7, 31, 42, 59, and 92, based on observations with theAdvanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble SpaceTelescope. The catalogue contains precise cluster positions (right ascensionand declination), magnitudes, and colours in the BVI filters. The number ofdetected sources ranges from 2200 to 5600 per group, from which we constructthe high-confidence sample by applying a number of criteria designed to reduceforeground and background contaminants. Furthermore, the high-confidencecluster candidates for each of the 16 galaxies in our sample are split into twosub-populations: one that may contain young star clusters and one that isdominated by globular older clusters. The ratio of young star cluster toglobular cluster candidates varies from group to group, from equal numbers tothe extreme of HCG 31 which has a ratio of 8 to 1, due to a recent starburstinduced by interactions in the group. We find that the number of blue clusterswith $M_V < -9$ correlates well with the current star formation rate in anindividual galaxy, while the number of globular cluster candidates with $M_V <-7.8$ correlates well (though with large scatter) with the stellar mass.Analyses of the high-confidence sample presented in this paper show that starclusters can be successfully used to infer the gross star formation history ofthe host groups and therefore determine their placement in a proposedevolutionary sequence for compact galaxy groups.
