  We present GALEX data for 44 Galactic globular clusters obtained during 3
GALEX observing cycles between 2004 and 2008. This is the largest homogeneous
data set on the UV photometric properties of Galactic globular clusters ever
collected. The sample selection and photometric analysis are discussed, and
color-magnitude diagrams are presented. The blue and intermediate-blue
horizontal branch is the dominant feature of the UV color-magnitude diagrams of
old Galactic globular clusters. Our sample is large enough to display the
remarkable variety of horizontal branch shapes found in old stellar
populations. Other stellar types that are obviously detected are blue
stragglers and post core-He burning stars. The main features of UV
color-magnitude diagrams of Galactic globular clusters are briefly discussed.
We establish the locus of post-core He burning stars in the UV color-magnitude
diagram and present a catalog of candidate AGB-manqu \'e, post early-AGB, and
post-AGB stars within our cluster sample.
