Our Atlas of Extragalactic Radio Sources will present high-quality images of the nearer half of “3CRR”, the sample defined by Laing, Riley & Longair (1983). This is the best-studied complete sample of extragalactic radio sources. All 173 members have secure redshifts and most have been imaged in the radio at high resolution. There is also copious information on their optical line emission, and many have been detected in the sub-mm, FIR, and in X-rays. 3CRR is widely used as a baseline against which fainter, higher-redshift samples can be compared to define the evolution of the population (e.g. Neeser et al. 1995; Law-Green, this conference).
