As part of its contribution to the International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS) and the maintenance and improvement of the current International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF), the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Bordeaux produces VLBI images of extragalactic radio sources, structure correction maps and structure indices in order to characterize the astrometric suitability of the ICRF sources. All such products are available online through the Bordeaux VLBI Image Database (BVID) which include more than 1000 VLBI images at 8.4 GHz and 2.3 GHz for more than 250 different sources, as well as more than 5000 structure correction maps and structure indices. The amount of data is constantly increasing with the processing of new VLBI experiments and new BVID features are being developed. The Bordeaux VLBI Image Database is accessible through the following web address: http://www.obs.u-bordeaux1.fr/m2a/BVID/.
