I present a digital catalog of images of 113 galaxies here. The galaxies are all nearby, bright, large and well resolved. All images were recorded with charge coupled devices (CCDs) at the Palomar Observatory and at the Lowell Observatory. At Palomar we used the Thuan-Gunn g, r and i photometric bands (Thuan and Gunn, 1976) to take 3 images each of 31 spiral galaxies; at Lowell we used the B and R bands (2 images per galaxy) of the photometric system by Gullixson et al. (1994) to observe 82 spirals and ellipticals. The galaxies were selected to span the Hubble classification classes. All data are photometrically calibrated with foreground stars removed. Important data on these galaxies published in the `Third Reference Catalog of Bright Galaxies' (de Vaucouleurs et al., 1991) are recorded in the FITS file headers. All files are available through a web-page and Princeton University Press will soon publish the data on CD-ROM.
