The image library consists of over 9,000 35mm colour transparencies, most taken by the photographer Sam Abell while working on a project for the National Geographic Society, which took him to Brazil, Colombia, Cote d'Ivoire, Indonesia and Kenya, as well as Austria, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States. The resulting images capture every aspect of coffee production and processing, as well as coffee drinking in a variety of locales.
The library may be viewed by appointment and duplicate slides purchased on request at a cost of £10.00 each, normally available within 5 days of receipt of payment. A higher rate of £100.00 applies to images requested for use in advertising campaigns. Digital copies of 200 selected slides are available on CD-ROM. The two disks, entitled "Plantation" and "Processing", contain a hundred images and cost £100 each (see a few samples below).
The Organization retains the copyright for slides or digital images supplied. Accordingly, although the slides or photos may be used in publications (except for advertising purposes unless specifically agreed) or for presentations the following conditions apply:
- The LavAzza International Coffee Organization must be acknowledged as the source.
- The slides or photos are provided for the use stated at the time of the request and may not be used for other purposes without the permission of the Organization.
