Abstract:
    An imaging survey of the IRAS 1Jy sample of 118 ultraluminous infrared
    galaxies was conducted at optical (R) and near-infrared (K')
    wavelengths using the University of Hawaii 2.2 m telescope. The
    methods of observation and data reduction are described. An R and K'
    atlas of the entire sample is presented along with some of the basic
    astrometric and photometric parameters derived from these images. A
    more detailed analysis of these data is presented in a companion
    paper (Veilleux et al., 2002, Cat. J/ApJS/143/315).
