Photometric and spectroscopic data are presented for a survey of the nearest and brightest elliptical galaxies. Distances, velocities relative to the cosmic rest frame, and residual velocities relative to a velocity-flow model are calculated for individual galaxies and groups. Information is provided on the selection and completeness of the target and observed samples. Both samples appear to be noticeably deeper in the north than in the south. A new diameter system for ellipticals is described that is easy to measure on survey prints and is a useful indicator of B(T) magnitude.
