5.5 million primary source photos from 1825 to a minute ago


The Associated Press has won more Pulitzer Prizes for photography than any other news agency in the world, and is the most credible source for non-biased reporting. Founded in 1848, the AP is the oldest and largest news organization in the world, and is an important part of modern-day world history, serving more than one billion people each day. Through an exclusive relationship with AccuWeather, Inc., education institutions and Public Libraries can subscribe to the AP Images from AccuWeather™ and gain unlimited access from the school, library or home with full copyright protection.

AP Images from AccuWeather™ is a primary source database from the Associated Press that takes users on a sensory journey of photographs, audio sound bites, graphics and text spanning over 160 years of history. User comprehension and recall skills will improve with visually stimulating imagery meant for use in research papers, theses, reports and PowerPoint presentations.

AP Images has now been enhanced to feature the new AP Images interface, which includes a powerful new search engine, concept showcases, and a calendar of events. From simple keyword searching to more complex searches such as concept, color, and category, research projects are enhanced with the diversity of subject matter contained within the Archive. Over 5.5 million primary-source photographs for every discipline, from the 1820s to a minute ago, are available, including the original captions. Also available from the world’s most respected news gathering organization are more than 180,000 graphics, including maps, timelines, logos and graphs.
