    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 or a large one for printing or use in a publication.

    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 require you to enter a password to access a gallery. Please contact Peter Beeler (510.817.5734) or Brenda Kahn (510.817.5773) at MTC to obtain a 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 but you don't need the full-resolution version, 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.

    On the preview image you will have the option to view the original or to download it to your system. Note that the original images are so big that you will likely only be able to see a part of the photo at one time and you'll need to scroll around to see all of them.
