Abstract:
    We present BVI CCD photometry for more than 10,000 stars in the
    innermost region (0.3'<r<~4') of the globular cluster M 3. When added
    to the previous photographic photometry by Buonanno et al.
    (1994A&A...290...69B) reaching as far as r~7', this results in an
    homogeneous data-set including about 19,000 stars measured in this
    cluster, which can be now regarded as one of the main templates for
    stellar population studies.
