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.

Unnumbered prints and negatives

Sub-series consists of photographic prints and negatives that were not assigned standard control numbers by the creating department (see sub-series 1-4 for description of the numbering system used by LIDC and its predecessors). Subjects include SFU architecture, campus scenes, and photos of university community members (Pauline Jewett, Chris Davies, David Skulski, A.J. Grants, Paul Cote, Wolfgang Youngrau, James B. Griffin, and R.W. Wylie). File 1 contains a series of photographs from the life of SFU Chancellor Gordon Shrum, including a World War I portrait and photos of his years at UBC and BC Hydro; some of these images were used in the the film produced by the Audio-Visual Centre This is SFU (1972).

Numbered contact sheets, negatives and prints

Sub-series consists of photographic negatives, contact sheets and prints created by staff photographers of LIDC and its predecessors. Contact sheets are pages of thumbnail images developed from the negatives. Contact sheets were organized by the creators by year, assigning a unique year-based serial number to each sheet (e.g. IMC 72062 = contact sheet 62 from 1972 created by the Instructional Media Centre). It is the contact sheets (rather than individual images) that were indexed (see note below on Finding aids).

For a few years (1987-1989), prints were developed from the negatives and filed by the same contact-sheet number system. Not all contact sheet negatives in these years were developed into prints; and the number of the prints post-1989 is very small. In the file-level contact sheet descriptions, the Physical storage section indicates the availability and container number of the contact sheet and any associated negatives and prints. In a small number of cases, contact sheets or negative may be missing, meaning they were not transferred to the Archives.

For photo subjects, see the parent series description for F-18-1, Photographic materials.

Note that the 1963 negatives pre-date the construction of the university and were later incorporated by IMC into its photo system. There are no contact sheets for the 1963 images.

Slides

Sub-series consists of slides created by LIDC photographers, maintained in alphabetically organized files based on subject. The exact relationship between the slides and the negatives and contact sheets in sub-series 4 is not clear; slides may have been created from the original negatives, but (with very few exceptions) there is no cross-reference on the slide back to a negative. For the general range of subjects, see parent series description (F-18-1).

Digital videotapes

Sub-series consists of digital video footage of campus events taken by LIDC staff. LIDC began using digital video cameras ca. 2002. Files 1-8 represent earlier analog materials later transferred to DVCam; file 109 is 1965 footage shot by CBC and transferred in 2006. Events documented include public lectures and readings, dance and theatre performances, building dedications, award and special ceremonies, anniversaries and commemorations.

Convocation: digital video footage

Sub-series consists of footage of SFU Convocations, shot in digital video. The use of DV by LIDC appears to have started ca. 2002. The pre-2002 tapes (files 1-2) likely represent digital transfers from earlier analog VHS recordings. The exact relation between the footage in this sub-series and that in sub-series 3-2 has not yet been closely analyzed or determined.

Documentaries

Sub-series consists of one documentary produced by LIDC, From C to C: Chinese Canadian Stories of Migration. The sub-series was established in 2018 to accommodate the transfer of this production, with anticipation of future transfers of similar material. The sub-series, however, is now closed.

Printed works portfolio

Series consists of publications and other printed materials created by LIDC and its predecessors for SFU client departments. LIDC graphic designers worked with SFU departments and faculty members to create prints materials to support university communications, faculty teaching, research and publication, campus events and departmental programs. This series comprises sample copies retained by LIDC as a kind of portfolio of work. The dates range from 1999 to 2014, with the bulk concentrating on the years 2008-2012.

Publications and events represented include SFU Open Houses in 2008 and 2012; the President's annual Faculty Lecture (2006-2010) and the Distinguished Leadership Award ceremonies (2007-2012); reports to the SFU community by the President, the Alumni Association, University Advancement, and SFU Woodward's Vancity Office of Community Engagement; SFU News supplements for the Office of Aboriginal People (2011, 2012); books produced on special occasions to honor SFU community members, including President Michael Stevenson (2010), Chancellor Brandt C. Louie (2011), and donor Djavad Mowafaghian (2011); alumni and donor events; academic programs and workshops, including the Canadian Centre for Studies in Publishing annual Summer Workshops (1999, 2007-2010); and a book project for Continuing Studies entitled History of Sex Work Vancouver: Who We Were / Who We Are (ca. 2006).

Record types include posters, invitations, brochures, reports and books, program catalogues and university promotional materials.
