A sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies, in the redshift range 0.01 < z <0.3, was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using morphological andspectral criteria. This paper describes how the sample was selected, presentsexamples of images and seeing corrected fits to the observed surface brightnessprofiles, describes our method for estimating K-corrections, and shows that theSDSS spectra are of sufficiently high quality to measure velocity dispersionsaccurately. It also provides catalogs of the measured photometric andspectroscopic parameters. In related papers, these data are used to study howearly-type galaxy observables, including luminosity, effective radius, surfacebrightness, color, and velocity dispersion, are correlated with one another.
