Miscellaneous Research Photos

From this file, LOI has digitized 16 textual records and other records.

File consists of contact sheets and negatives of photographs found in a folder in the John Mark Read Collection. There are a total of three contact sheets and five negative film strips. These photographs were created by John Mark Read circa 1975 or earlier and are likely photographs of original photographs captured for his research. The original photograph dates would be earlier than 1975 and are predominately from the 1930s-1940s.

John Mark Read was born on June 8, 1945 in Kelowna, British Columbia. He graduated (from Delbrook Senior Secondary School?) and continued with his education by studying Geography at the University of British Columbia (UBC). He graduated from UBC in 1971 with a Bachelor of Arts. John went on to pursue a Master of Arts in the Department of Geography at UBC. He submitted his thesis, "The Pre-War Japanese Canadians of Maple Ridge: Landownership and the Ken Tie," in 1975. While pursuing his Masters, John married his wife, Karen Kiyiomi Mizuno, on July 14, 1973. John went on to work as H.Y. Louie for thirty years and retired in 2005.

The digital copies of the records were acquired by the Landscapes of Injustice Research Collective between 2014 and 2018.
