Series consists of artwork and graphic materials created by Elizabeth Carefoot, a graphic designer and illustrator who worked at LIDC and its predecessors for over thirty years (ca. 1972-2003). Carefoot worked with SFU departments and faculty members to create illustrations and graphics for their works relating to university teaching and research. Most of Carefoot's output over the years was not transferred to Archives, and this series represents only a small fraction of her SFU output - a single box of design files that were transferred to the Archives in 2011 after the dissolution of LIDC by one of its successor bodies, the Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC).

The files cover a range of projects ca. 1980-1992. Projects documented include illustrations for course workbooks in Criminology and the Faculty of Education; publications on bees by Mark Winston, a faculty member in Department of Biological Sciences; label designs for SFU Heavenly Honey; and the 1986 SFU Christmas Card.

Document types include drawings and sketches, page mockups and transparencies, book illustrations, posters, cards and photographic negatives and prints.

Sub-series consists of photos, contact sheets, articles, and published material relating to individuals from the Faculty of Education. For a list of faculty members associated with the sub-series, see access points.

Sub-series consists of records relating to planning for the budget requirements of new and proposed academic programs, including proposals that were not successful. For a list of departments whose proposals are included in the files, see "Access points" below. Records include correspondence, reports, meeting minutes, program proposals and curricula, comments by external reviewers, and budget estimates and calculations.

Series consists of the Director's correspondence with other university departments. Activities and topics documented include development of the Arts Administration program within Continuing Studies, Faculty of Education meetings (reflecting the earlier Centre's administrative placement within this Faculty), reviews of program proposals by the University of British Columbia (included in correspondence with the Vice-President, Academic), the support campaign for the School (then the Centre for the Arts) in the face of large budget cuts in 1984-85, the School's participation in the university's Prison Education Program, and a study of the university Library's support of contemporary arts. Records include correspondence, reports, proposals, budgets and budget working papers, notes, bibliographies, CVs, mailing lists, questionnaires, reprints and other reference material.
