Grateful thanks are due to Ed Hengeveld at the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal who has made life much easier for us when we need to search for an Apollo photo whose number we don't know. He has made a single image of around 1 MB of all the thumbnails for each film shot on the lunar surface.
The images are not perfect as he hasn't rotated many of them the "right way up," and not all of the orbital, trans-moon and trans-earth images have been done, but it's a good start and very handy to see the images in their context instead of trolling through thousands of separate ones. They also save a ton of disk space.
To save time searching the image libraries for the links, all of them are in the next post.
To access say, the Apollo 11 EVA thumbnails, the numbers for which are AS11-40-5844 to AS11-40-5970, just look for the roll or magazine number, 40, or the link that ends in Mag40 –

Woo hoo! It's easy to see the Roll 45 images from the Gold Camera in 3-D just by crossing your eyes. (Well, it is for me, but I've had years of practice.)
Faulty links:
[I'll delete this section at a later date when it's no longer needed.]
I haven't tested all of the links (I'm on S-L-O-W rural dialup), so please advise me in a PM about any faulty ones.
The last three Apollo 17 links are faulty, so I've notified Eric Jones at the ALSJ and corrected the last two below, but until they are fixed, it's not possible to access the image for magazine 157 by simply changing the last two digits, 48, to 57.
