The static and time-dependent potential and surface charge correlations in a plasma with a boundary are computed for different shapes of the boundary. The case of a spheroidal or spherical one-component plasma is studied in detail because experimental results are available for such systems. Also, since there is some knowledge, both experimental and theoretical, about the electrostatic collective modes of these plasmas, the time-dependent correlations are computed using a method involving these modes.
