A Steiner triple system of order v v , an STS( v v ), is a set of 3 3 -element subsets, called blocks, of a v v -element set of points, such that every pair of distinct points occurs in exactly one block. A subsystem of order w w in an STS( v v ), a sub-STS( w w ), is a subset of blocks that forms an STS( w w ). Constructive and nonconstructive techniques for enumerating up to isomorphism the STS( v v ) that admit at least one sub-STS( w w ) are presented here for general parameters v v and w w . The techniques are further applied to show that the number of isomorphism classes of STS( 21 21 )s with at least one sub-STS( 9 9 ) is 12661527336 12661527336 and of STS( 27 27 )s with a sub-STS( 13 13 ) is 1356574942538935943268083236 1356574942538935943268083236 .
