Sub-series consists of analog photographs taken by SFU photographers working in University News Service (UNS) and Media and Public Relations (MPR) from 1972 to 1999. In 2000, photographers switched over to digital photography, discontinuing the creation of contact sheets and negatives.

Contact sheets were used to facilitate browsing and final selection of images. Photographers cut their film roll into a number of small strips that were exposed and developed as a set of thumbnail images on a single page. Contact sheets and negatives were stored in a separate series of binders, but were both organized by contact sheet number, with different numbering schemes in use at different times (see note on Arrangement below for more information on the numbering systems).

Descriptive data about the images were created by the photographers in the form of labels and annotations added to contact sheets. This data was later captured in a photo index database and appears in the Scope and content note for individual contact sheets at the file level (see the note on Finding aids below for more information on the Archives' legacy photo index).

Sub-series consists of films and videos created by or relating to the Faculty of Education. Includes a 1972 documentary on school-community interaction at Kitkatla (Gitxaala Nation) (item 1); Brent Reid's 1981 "SFU's Professional Development Program" (item 2); a 1998 discussion with faculty members John Ellis, Selma Wasserman, and Glenn Kirchner (item 3); a series of film and video works on physical education teaching directed by Glenn Kirchner (items 4-17); materials produced by Kirchner in collaboration with Brown & Benchmark Publishers for inservice programs for elementary school teachers (items 18-21); a 1981 production by BC's Provincial Educational Media Centre (item 22); and raw footage of a 1991 physical education class (items 23-30).
