	Biographical/Historical:	Harvey E. Slade was born in Valdosta, Georgia, and grew up in Moultrie. He studied photography under several nationally-known photographers before opening a studio in Moultrie with his wife, Helen Marion Burr of Tallahassee. They moved to Tallahassee in 1941 and opened a studio on South Monroe Street. The business prospered and they moved it to larger quarters on North Monroe Street in the 1950s. Slade was active in professional photographic organizations and served as president of the Florida Photographic Association and as director of the Southeastern Photographers Association. He continued his photographic work until illness forced him to close the studio in 1974.
