How to Use These Catalogs

The links at left will let you browse Web galleries of photography that MTC and BATA has commissioned. The galleries contain more than 30,000 images [as of September 2009].

From within a gallery one can download a small version for use in PowerPoint or Word.

To make it easier to find what you're looking for, the photos are organized in several different ways; by bridge, by event, and by photographer. You can also browse the entire collection by clicking the link at top marked "ALL_photos."

IMPORTANT: Most of the photos in this collection are protected by copyright. To prevent unauthorized downloading of the photos, we ask that you enter a password to access a gallery. Please contact Peter Beeler (510.817.5734) or Brenda Kahn (510.817.5773) at MTC to obtain the password.

Once you have entered the password you will be able to download as many images as you want; most browsers will allow you to save the password, so you won't need to re-enter it every time.

When you click on a link you should see a gallery of thumbnail images; if you don't, simply click the link that reads "show all" and it will bring up the gallery.

Clicking on a thumbnail will give you a larger preview image which will be adequate for your purposes if you're using PowerPoint or Word; you can download it by right clicking on it and choosing 'save image as' (I'm assuming you're using Firefox).

If the downloaded preview image is too small, copy the filename that appears above the photo on the "detailed info" page, send it to pbeeler@mtc.ca.gov and I'll send you a file that suits your needs.
