  Apollo Image Atlas, by The Lunar and Planetary Institute     

The Apollo Image Atlas is a collection of photographic images of the moon taken during the Apollo Saturn missions (1961 - 1972).

The Apollo Program most immediate and tangible documentation is the 20,000 photographic images taken by the astronaut crews.

Also available is the Lunar Map Catalog with Lunar Maps and Aeronautical Charts

The Apollo astronauts used several types of cameras during their missions. Most of the classic images were taken by 70 mm Hasselblad cameras, but astronauts also used 35 mm Nikon cameras, a multispectral camera, a stereoscopic camera, and a Hycon Lunar Topographic camera. Both black and white and color film were used

In addition to hand-held cameras, the last three flights--Apollo 15, 16 and 17-- carried scientific mapping cameras to perform orbital surveys along the ground track of the orbiting command module. Although they cover only 20% of the lunar surface, the images produced by the orbital metric and panoramic cameras represent the some of the best photographic products of the moon currently available.
