About us
Atlas Photo Archive emerged from the personal stock image archive of the photojournalist and stock photographer Jonathan Mitchell. It now contains tens of thousands of images from his personal archives (dating back to the late 19080s) and a historical record of major historical events and personalities.
We edit not only historical images, we also hold contemporary news, sports, entertainment, feature and stock images from our network of international contributors.
Sadly, the market for stock images being what it is, we cannot maintain our own database and being a small company, use a variety of distributors. Most of the collection is Rights Managed (both editorial and commercial picture licenses are available), though some is Royalty Free and a small percentage is available as RF Microstock.
New images are edited into the archive on a weekly basis and if you are looking for live news images, please visit our partner agency Avalon (formerly Photoshot). For more links to where you can view the Atlas Photo Archive online, please visit the Search page.

If you have any images you are seeking and do not see them via our distribution partners, then please feel free to contact us.
