Elizabeth Carefoot artwork and graphics

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.

Carefoot, Elizabeth

Sterling Prize collection

  • F-175
  • Collection
  • 1993 - 2003

The Archives established the Sterling Prize Collection in 2000 at the suggestion of Professor Ted Sterling, who, with his wife Nora, established the Sterling Prize for Controversy in 1993. According to the terms of reference for the prize, it may be given for work in any field including—but not limited to—fine arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and education. The primary aim of the prize is to encourage daring, creative, controversial, unconventional, and non-traditional work at SFU that also meets high standards and is morally and ethically sound. An ancillary aim is to encourage the study, at SFU, of the role of the controversial. The prize is normally awarded to a member of the SFU community—students, faculty, staff, or alumni. The winner is selected by the Sterling Prize Committee, composed of faculty. student and staff representatives.

Dr. Sterling, Professor Emeritus at SFU, was the founder of the University’s computing science program in 1973, and is an expert in computational epidemiology and the social implications of computing. He was awarded an honorary degree by SFU in 2001.

For further information on Ted and Nora Sterling and the Sterling Prize, see the file "Background Information."

In 2000, the archivist asked each previous Sterling Prize winner to give the Archives a copy of his or her Sterling Prize lecture. Some winners were able to supply a prepared text; other winners spoke from notes and supplied these. The archivist added more information to the files including announcements, press releases, articles from Simon Fraser News, print-outs from the Sterling Prize website, (http://www.sfu.ca/sterlingprize/) and other documents. SFU Media and Public Relations gave the Archives a cassette copy of Russel Ogden’s lecture for 1995. Please note that there was no prize winner for 1996.
