Custodial history
Scope and content
Series consists of photographs created by the staff photographers of LIDC and its predecessors. Negatives and contact sheets were systematically maintained, organized by year-based serial numbers (see sub-series 4 for description of the system). Two groups of subject-based files were also maintained, organized alphabetically: a set of slides (sub-series 2) and a set of unnumbered prints and negatives (sub-series 5. Subjects include SFU's architectural competition and design, interior and exterior architecture; opening ceremonies, presidential installations, Convocation and other special events; faculty portraits and images of students, faculty and staff in classroom and campus settings. Photographers whose works are represented in the series include Chris Hildred, Ron Long, Eddy Chan, Greg Ehlers, and Fred Kyba. Record types include negatives, contact sheets, slides and prints.
The series is arranged into three sub-series; note that there is no sub-series 1 or 3 (retired; see note on Arrangement).

Arrangement
Former sub-series 1 (Contact sheets and negatives) and sub-series 3 (Prints) were retired in 2022. The contact sheets and negatives were reorganized in an arrangement based more closely on the creator's control numbering system as sub-series 4. The 3 folders of prints in sub-series 3 were consolidated into a single file (F-18-1-5-0-29) and moved into a new sub-series 5, Unnumbered prints and negatives.
