AP Images

This database includes over 500,000 photos from the Associated Press, featuring state, regional and national photos from North America, as well as international photos, some dating back as far as 1844.

Because the library has a subscription to the AP Images database, you can freely use the images for your online project, as long as it's only available to the SCU community. But if you were to post your project on the open web for everyone to see, you would have to pay a fee.
