Addison Scurlock and his sons spent much of the twentieth century photographing leaders, lumniaries, and local Washingtonians. From the original Scurlock Studio on U Street to the Custom Craft Studio and the Capitol School of Photography, the Scurlocks' imagery was viewed and shared by thousands of people.

In this area, you can page through the studio's notables file; listen to George Scurlock speak of photography, the business, and his family; or view a detailed finding aid for the Scurlock Collection, including a history note and bibliography.
