Operators are defined that yield basic Galois closure operations for almost every category. These give rise to a new and more general approach for characterization of epireflective subcategories, and construction of epireflective hulls. As a by-product, satisfactory characterizations of classes of perfect morphisms and ω-extendable epimorphisms are obtained. Detailed proofs and examples will appear elsewhere.
