Scope and content
This file consists of four contact sheets and twelve strips of negatives found in the John Mark Read Collection. One set of negatives also has a key explaining the photographs to go with it. 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.
Name of creator
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.

Terminology

Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
