This is always where I start my search for diverse & non-stereotyped images of older people, to use in teaching materials or research presentations. There's 3000 images in the whole collection, all with wide permission to reuse (CC0 1.0 for the creative commons geeks) so it wins for ease of use too.
Do you have any ideas for new collections in our age-positive image library? Let us know!

If you're looking for art and heritage photos then we have over 200 available to download instantly for free.
