Dan I used a program done by Peggy Williams for years on two disks for
MAC.
 
However, I don't have a MAC anymore so cannot use it.
 
I bought Broderbund ClickART 125,000 and it has marvelous shell pictures
and photos in it.  It ran about $39 at Office Depot.
 
I use the pictures on my newsletter and some on the junior newsletter.
Some of the pictures are great to use for coloring.
 
I have even used some of the pictures for shell show exhibits.
