In order to study the dust properties of different galaxies in the nearby Universe, the SPIRE extragalactic group selected a volume limited (15< D <25 Mpc), complete sample of 313 galaxies spanning the whole range in morphological type (from ellipticals to late-type spirals) and luminosity (8.5 < log LH < 12 LH\odot, -22 < MB < -16) extracted from 2MASS, to be observed in guaranteed time with Herschel. The 250-360-520 μm SPIRE data, combined with those collected at other frequencies, will be used to trace the dust properties of normal galaxies and provide a reference sample for studies at high redshift.
