The AccuNet/AP Multimedia Archive features state, regional and national photos from North America, as well as the best international photos all available moments after they move on the AP’s spot photo system. An average of 500 photos a day feed into the AccuNet/AP Multimedia Archive, and remain there for a minimum of one year. Specially trained indexers select the best 200 or so photos each day to save for all time, while the remainder are eliminated from the Photo Archive after 12 months. The AccuNet/AP Multimedia Archive’s historical collection continues to grow. It features historical figures, political leaders, sports greats and celebrities. The AccuNet/AP Multimedia Archive also offers images from significant news and features events of the 20th century such as World War II, civil rights, the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe, space exploration and much, much more. The earliest photograph available was taken in 1840.
