New infrared (JHK) photometry is presented for a sample of E and S0 galaxies. The sample comprises 80 field galaxies, 35 galaxies in the Virgo cluster and 22 in the Coma cluster. The galaxies span a range of 6 mag in absolute magnitude. Multiaperture UBVR photometry for 107 field galaxies is also presented. The infrared data are combined with the new optical data or with published optical data give V-K colors. This paper describes the observational techniques and lists the new data only; analysis of the results is presented in a subsequent paper.
