Each March we will have a one month paid subscription to Shutterstock. Please use the instructions in the link for more information.

Wikimedia (Free)
This database has over three million (!) freely usable media files that anyone can use. Please provide us with the link to the image you choose, and we will crop it for you (and add a credit, if necessary). When you send us the links, please indicate which page the image should go on (by providing the page url). Send images to: guide@berkeley.edu.
Provide Your Own
You can also provide us with your own high quality images. They need to be 1000px x 400 px x 300dpi. When you send them to us, indicate which page they should go on (by providing the page url). Send images to: guide@berkeley.edu.
