The Project Apollo Archive on Flickr has all the Apollo photos from every roll categorized by mission starting with Apollo 7.

Also the excellent Apollo Image Archive has them categorized by type of camera used.

The Apollo Image Archive at ASU, funded by NASA, have the highest quality scans possible. They got some equipment from an unnamed Three Letter Agency to scan the high resolution images taken from orbit.

200 pixels/mm resolution? jeez

Well...raw tif images sizes are more than 1GB so anyone who wants to play with it in photoshop have a sh!tload of image data.

I knew about flickr, but not about the ASU website, which is a shame because i'm a big fan of the Apollo missions (especially Apollo 16)!

So what does « unpublished » mean in the context of the article? I’m confused…

It means that the article writer is a hype man for an auction house stretching the truth.

These are prints, but consider that for photographic prints to be made, one has to take the film negative that went to the moon, load it into a darkroom enlarger, and print on photo paper. Nothing is said about the provenance of the reproduction, which could be from a contact copy of the film, or copy of prints for public dissemination by the thousands (while not using bulk printing and screening technology).
