You may want to start smaller than Corbis, Getty and the like. There are many smaller, but very lucrative stock photo sites that would love to have your photos and you can make great money with them too, especially with such a large collection. Try bigstockphoto.com, istockphoto.com and similar. For more info, check out the site in my sources, it helped me get started. good luck!

You sell rights TO those and other stock photogaphy companies.
In many cases, the photographers are forced to sell all copyrights, so that they no longer own the images.
There are many stock agencies around the world that accept images but they all have rules so here is a website for you to look at to see if you can fit into their submission guidelines. If you can fit into theirs you might be able to do it with others.
There are other “Big” name agencies you will not get into unless you have already been published and they in turn contact you.
