The fonds consists of approximately 98988 ca 35 mm. colour slides (as well as a few b&w negatives) depicting architecture and street views across Canada, between the 1970s and the 1990s. All provinces are covered, but there are no images from the territories or from the city of Ottawa.

The photographs depict architecture and urban views in a variety of cities and towns in the provinces, including churches, civic buildings, train stations, commercial buildings and some private residences. Although the majority of the images were taken in large cities, Schade did photograph in smaller, and occasionally rural centres if he found interesting architecture or street views there. Most frequently, his images from the smaller centres consist of churches, town halls, fire stations and post offices, as well as main street views. The photographs include a diverse range of historical and contemporary architecture. As Schade began photographing across the country in the 1970s, many of the historic structures have disappeared or been significantly changed, adding to the historical value of these images.

In larger centres, the subject matter was more diverse, covering a wider range of religious structures as well as theatres, arenas, bridges, etc.

The photographs are primarily exterior images of buildings. These are mostly public buildings, mainly from the 19th century, although there are some shots of unusual or architecturally noteworthy residences, and some shots of vernacular architecture. Twentieth century buildings are primarily represented by city halls, and office buildings; there are few if any industrial buildings, and no 20th century residences (with the possible exception of some vernacular buildings). The images also include churches, churchyards, some graveyards, streetscapes, highway vistas, the homes of historically important individuals such as Samuel Tilley. There are few interiors; with the exception of stores and markets these are all of public buildings such as courthouses.

Information on the slides may include the name of the structure, its location, the architect, the date of construction, the date the photograph was made, and Mr. Schade's own classification numbers.

The slides are arranged alphabetically by location. A finding aid, based on Mr. Schade's database is available. Not all slides appear to have been documented in this system.

Schade, Hellmut W., 1924-2010 : Hellmut Schade was born in Frankfurt Germany, on May 8, 1924 and died in Ottawa in 2010. He purchased his first box camera in 1934, through a promotion offered by Agfa, and later apprenticed at a portrait studio in Wurzburg, Germany. He served in the German Army during the Second World War, and was wounded and captured by the Russians on the last day of the war. He eventually escaped and walked on crutches for 200 kilometres to reach the American-occupied zone in Germany.
Mr. Schade immigrated to Canada with his wife and first child in 1951. In Montréal, he found work in a commercial photographer's lab, but eventually landed the job of still photographer with Crawley Films in Ottawa in 1955. Three years later he found a job as a photographer with the federal government and produced photographs for the now classic book Native Trees of Canada, and A Guide to Canadian Architectural Styles. In 1971 he began teaching photography at Carleton University's School of Architecture, convincing the director that the students needed to learn how to photograph buildings. He retired from that position in 1989, but had already established a private stock photography business, Scholastic Slide Services, which specialized in architectural photography. The images for the business were produced by Mr. Schade during numerous trips across Canada and around the world from the 1950s onward.

Mr. Schade's work has been recognized through the Allied Arts Medal of the Ontario Association of Architects, and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Ontario Heritage Foundation.
