The collection includes prints and film negatives dating from late 1950s before Childress joined the Baltimore Sun, to 1984, the year he died. Childress covered virtually everything newsworthy for the Sun: protests, sports, social and cultural events, politics, automobile accidents, house fires, fairs, festivals, and parades, military events, and more.

The collection is broken down into 18 series. Series I – IX contain photographic prints. Series X – XVIII contain negatives.
