We present a comprehensive database of Color-Magnitude Diagrams (CMDs) for all the Milky Way Globular Clusters included in the William Harris catalog. Using the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) Point Source Catalog (PSC) a JHKs dataset is created for each object. For the clusters with deep CMDs, we present preliminary analysis of the behavior of the theoretical isochrones generated with the Padova Stellar Evolution code in the Near-IR, as a function of age and metallicity. The final objective of the project is to improve our understanding of the resolved stellar populations and the integrated-light properties of the Milky Way globular clusters. As a different application of the database, we present an independent calibration of the TRGB distance indicator in the Near-Infrared.
