We present a survey of the globular cluster systems of 11 giant elliptical galaxies in clusters associated with the Shapley Supercluster. The program galaxies were imaged with the ACS/WFC in the F814W bandpass (comparable to I-band) and are in the redshift range z = 0.035-0.046. Radial density plots and the total globular cluster populations of these 11 galaxies are presented. The most massive galaxy in our sample contains the largest globular cluster population studied to date. Another galaxy in our sample, ES0325-G004, is the nearest gravitational lensing galaxy, and STScI obtained multi-band imaging for a press release image. This provides additional color information on its rich GC system.
