Problems Accessing AP Multimedia Archive

An error message appears when trying to connect to AP Multimedia Archive. After a few more clicks, a "user id expired" message appears. Mike Waldman has been notified.

Some temporary alternatives/suggestions for finding images, or text of articles that contain a certain image (depending on need):
  • Google Image Search
  • Search "Caption" field in Lexis Nexis (usually this will only retrieve the text of an article that has your search term in the caption)
  • Opposing Viewpoints has some images (you can limit by document type: image in advanced search mode)
  • Library of Congress, American Memory http://memory.loc.gov
  • US Government Graphics and Photos http://firstgov.gov/Topics/Graphics.shtml

The URL seems to have changed, and will be updated in our page.
New URL: http://accuweather.ap.org/cgi-bin/aplaunch.pl
