Re: Archives of the Associated Press?



Ms.Halper,
You may get some help from the Visual Resources Association website which
lists a wide range of image providers as members. One member company in
particular, Corbis, may be a good place to start, as they themselves have
several press agency collections and may have knowledge of where the AP
collection resides.  To find Corbis, click on Resources and then Image
Providers Directory. Then use the left-hand index for further links.

Here is the Association website: http://www.vraweb.org/index.html

Best of luck,
Colleen A. Phelan
