content: The subseries clients is predominantly black and white photographs but it also includes order envelopes and materials, and other photographic materials that were part of the order. The clients are arranged in alphabetical order by last name or by the first word of an organization's name. The materials document the orders placed by clients of the Scurlock Studio but in some cases an individual, organization, or business in an image that was not connected to a known order was identified. The photograph was then placed under the indentified individual, organization, or business and may not represent an actual client of the Studio. The majority of orders are formal portrait sittings of individuals but there are also family portraits, events, organizations, businesses, and informal images. In addition, not all photographs in this subseries were taken by the Scurlock Studio; there are there photos by Abdon Daoud Ackad and other studios or photographers that were sent in to make copies.
