We present g′ and z′ aperture photometry for 96 Galactic Globular Clusters, making this the largest homogeneous catalog of photometry for these objects in the SDSS filter system. For a subset of 56 clusters we also provide photometry in r′ and i′. We carry out comparisons with previous photometry as well as with the SDSS dataset. The data will be useful for a series of applications in Galactic and extragalactic astrophysics. Future papers will analyse the colour-metallicity relation, colour-magnitude diagrams, and structural parameters. The compilation of results based on this dataset will be collected in the Galactic Globular Cluster Catalog (G2C2).
