It is the largest collection of Hubble images ever released simultaneously. According to the release, most of these beauties are part of an investigation of luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies called the GOALS project (Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey) that combines observations from Hubble, Spitzer, Chandra and Galaxy Explorer. Many are also included in the The Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, cataloged by Halton Arp in the mid-1960s. The images are spectacular! Galaxies gone wild!

Thanks for sharing. It's nice you can download a large .TIF of them and really peep around. I think #15 looks a bit like M51 on the left with the small galaxy above it and it's bridge, crashing into M101 on the right.
