Biographical history
Helena Turner (née Keizer) was born on December 1, 1945 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In 1951, her family emigrated to Vancouver, where Turner attended Kitsilano Secondary School before starting at SFU as a charter student in 1965. Turner left SFU in 1966 to follow other pursuits, such as her trip to the Arctic in 1970 (the photographs from this trip are available through Library and Archives Canada). She earned a BA from the University of Victoria in 1994 and returned to Amsterdam in 2002.
Custodial history
The records were in the custody and control of the creator prior to their transfer to Archives in August 2020.
Scope and content
The records consist of 12 photographic negatives, a DVD with digital copies of the negatives, and contact sheets with handwritten captions identifying some of the students in the images.
Helena Turner took the photographs during a symposium for SFU students at Rosario Beach, Washington, that was held from March 11-13, 1966. The writers of the charter edition yearbook described the venue as, "a small research station with cabins, a lecture hall, and a large dining room." The symposium was organized around the idea of an academic retreat, with debates, student speeches, and a Saturday night dance. The speakers included SFU professors Ron Baker, Murray Schafer, and Allan Cunningham, among others.
The series also includes obituaries for two of the subjects of the photos: Lenore Herb and Hanne Bondo Mawhinney.
