Scurlock Collection

The Scurlock Collection is a significant archive of photographs and related materials created by the Scurlock family, notably George W. Scurlock and his son, Esphyr. These images document African American life, history, and culture, primarily in Washington, D.C., from the early-to-mid 20th century. The collection offers valuable visual insights into community, social change, and daily experiences, serving as an important resource for historians, researchers, and the public interested in African American heritage and history.
